Brief Description: Seat back support side plates drilled in
I have not been able to work in the shop for the last several days because I have been away from home almost every evening at some sort of meeting or another. I had a church meeting tonight, but I got away at about 8:00 and fled to the shop. A shipment arrived from Vans with some .063" aluminum plate that I needed to fabricate the side plates to which you bolt the front seat support weldment. The kit originally included the plates, but I must have used them for other parts. When I got to the side plates, there was not enough left to fabricate them. Thus the order to Vans. At the same time, I also ordered the fuel pump for the fuel injected engine. It was pricey, $550. With the new aluminum plates, I cut them to size and drilled the holes, as per the plans. Then I fit and drilled them to the side bulkheads in the middle of the cockpit. As they warned in the instructions, I had to manhandle the bulkhead flanges a bit to get everything to line up before drilling.
