The seat adjuster rails were installed by drilling through holes at both ends of rail that match the fuselage brackets. Paint in the bushings of the seat bottoms was removed to allow the seats to move freely on the mounted rail. A stop ring was installed and secured with stainless rivets to prevent the seat from hitting the flap pulley on the passenger side and the elevator push-rod on the pilot side. The plans mention an additional bracket for added strength. Our fuselage did not have the welded bushings for mounting the bracket so a call to the factory was required. We found that they no long used the bracket (p/n F-2090). Hmmm, wish the build manual was up to date!
With the seat bottoms installed, the seat pin bushing was used as a drill guide to drill holes in the adjuster rail for varying the seat position. Holes were drilled for the forward and rearward most seat position and 1" intervals between the two. The holes were reamed and deburred to allow the seat adjuster pin to slide in smoothly. Hours: 2.5
