Seat Frames not square
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2019 9:03 pm
A word of caution. Set up Seat Tracks and seat frames on bench setup to trial fit before installing in fuselage.
I found both bucket seat frames were not square from front to back. The back feet center to center distance was 5/32" narrower than the front feet. So when the seat frames were set on a set of parallel seat tracks they would bind and not slide. I needed to cut the weld loose on one corner, pry out the frame so the roller brackets were parallel side to side and then weld back together.
