The rear seat detail

09 Dec 2004 The rear seat detail

Here are some pictures of the rear seat. Notice that I added an extra rivet at the extreme left and right to help hold the aluminium down better.

Here is how I did the side support, as described in the plans. See below for a better way!

Update: 20060214 – Got this tip from Jack Fromm “… picture shows the reinforcements I added to the back sides of the seat back. It seemed to me that the ones called for in the plans were a little skimpy. It looked to me like the fiberglass portion would have to support to majority of the seat back load and since most of my friends are on the hefty side, I wanted a little more support here. So I epoxied and riveted on a longer, thicker doubler.”
