  The best fix I've seen for keeping you from sliding side to side with the 
wooden-backed Pitts seats is to use a piece of the perforated, soft rubber 
material sold as shelf liner, tool drawer liner material, etc. as an anti-slip 
surface.  It's not very durable but is quite cheap.  A 12 inch or greater wide 
band of it can be stapled to the seat back with the ends wrapped around the 
backside and stapled in place.  It will grip parachute container material, 
clothes, skin, just about anything.  There is a heavier duty grade of the same 
material that is sold as a mat to hold wood from moving on a workbench while it 
is being sawn, routed, etc.
