Seat Backs
The vertical side supports for the seat backs had to be notched to be able to overlap the hinge at the bottom of the seat. I used a file and hand filed the four vertical supports. I didn't want to take too much off which would weaken the assembly once riveted together. In the picture above I was preparing to drill the pilot holes for the rivets.
The bottom hinge for the seat has the center eye taken out to allow room to install the hinge pins when mounted to the seat bottom.
Here the pieces are taken apart so they can be prepared for priming.
Here the seat back pieces were clecoed together and mounted in the fuselage to check for fit. I got carried away with the clecos on the right seat.
The seats completed, primed and riveted together. Front and back views shown. After the pictures were taken I removed the seats and stored them, as they are basically in the way while other items are being built..
