Brief Description:  Riveted front seat back.

I set the rivets along the top, bottom and sides of the front seat back using my manual squeezer. I realized that I did not like the rivet orientation along the sides. First the aft side of this component will be in plain view of the rear passenger and secondly the convention is to place the shop head on the side with the thicker material. So, I drilled them out and reversed their direction. It wasted about an hour and a half but I am much happier with them now.
