A clockable articulation insert (128) for a seat (104) is disclosed. The clockable articulation insert (128) includes a base portion (216) that inserts into a cavity (204) within the frame or spreader bar (120a, 120b) of the seat. The clockable articulation insert (128) further includes a face that comprises a guide slot (232) that couples to a cross piece (124) of the seat (104) that is itself coupled to a seat pan (112). Movement of the cross piece (124) within the guide slot (232) changes the tilt, extension, and/or rake of the seat pan (112). Clocking the clockable articulation insert (128) to a different position alters the articulation profile of the clockable articulation insert (128), resulting in a different set of ranges of tilt, extension, and/or rake that can be accomplished by sliding the cross piece (124) within the guide slot (232). The set of articulation profiles may be further changed by replacing the clockable articulation insert (128) with another clockable articulation insert (128) configured with a differently designed guide slot (232).
