Brief Description:    Seat pan installation complete
Finished the installation of the seat pan!

- Located and installed the second half of the hinge sets at the seat back, and at the spar tunnel.

- Had to make another hinge half and two hinge pins for the forward seat pan attachment. Somehow I had neglected to make those a couple of weeks ago.

- Since I'm doing the lowered seat mod, and that means the seat pan straddles a pushrod, there is a cover (photo #1) that attaches to the floor structure and extends up between the seats. With it in place I could not get the center (where you butt sits) hing pins in. The end of the cover got in the way. So in photo #1 you can see I notched out the back corner of the cover so the hinge pins will clear.
