I'm also hoping I can centre the saddle on the rails. Currently it's too far rearwards and, with our damn third-world-status potholed UK roads, the saddle frequently tips up - even with the nuts torqued well over spec.
Try a different seat post, there are posts which you can adjust the tilt with fore and aft Allen screws, these will not move when you hit bumps.
