Finish Kit

Seat Backs and Miscellanea ( 4 hrs )

Completed Seat Backs with remaining rivets along LH and RH sides, then Sect 39-06 & -07 for Hinge Pins.   Since I'll probably leave off Seat Back Braces due to using only rearmost position (they're not engaged), I didn't add the safety wire retentions for the Hinge Pins.  But they fit perfectly and work really well.   Also made the bottom Hinge Pins ~ 1/4" longer to allow long taper for easier insertion.  Overall, the Seat Backs fit and look great.  I started Sect 42, called "Miscellanea" - which are the removable interior covers.  Deburred Seat Ramp Cover, and LH & RH Control Column Covers.  Attached the few nutplates (buffed, cleaned and primed just at nutplates for now - so I could install.  Planning major prime and painting session later )
Seat backs fit perfectly between black UHMW
blocks on crossbar
in rearmost position, braces are not used...


alternate brace positions if seat moved to
middle and forward positions
