Brief Description:  Seat back - brace mod

Pilot seat back - brace modified to tilt back almost 1" further. Removed the hinges and lowered the angle of seat hinge by flipping it over, and then cut 1/2" off the "brace" on both the hinge edge and the aft edge where it rests against cross member.

This modification improves the angle of the hinged brace, and shortens the brace front-back so the seat back 'leans' more. Adds almost 1" to the tilt and thus 'arm' distance for the pilot to move shoulder distance aft.

Also removed the entire 'dog house' cover over the AFP FI Pump/Filter assembly, removing the filter for cleaning. Disassembled the filter and removed a tiny amount of metallic shavings, and some 'lint' materials from the SS screen filter. Re-assembled and re-torqued into the FI system. Waiting for daytime and roll-out to do final testing for leaks on an engine run-up.
