If there is no fore and aft adjustment device fitted then how can you fail if its not there and you can't check "as intended."
There is no requirement to check for presence of fore/ aft device to be fitted, therefore no rfr
It's a pass all day long for me

Or if a specialist modification.

As intended in my opinion means, if it has an adjuster it should operate..

Provision means without the action of providing or supplying something for use, so in this case it's a Pass
