I finally started on the right seat supports. This is the area I messed up last time quite a bit, so I've been worried about starting this.
I clecoed both supports in and then tried to put the seat pan in, but my holes were not lining up. I disassembled and re-assembled a few times, and finally got it. The supports are a little tall and are causing the seat pan to bow slightly which was pulling the back holes forward. I was able to get everything re-clecoed together by clecoing the top corner and then the opposite back corner and working out from there.
The drawing shows the rear support attaching to the L-angle on the cabin side. I had a pretty decent gap between the support and the cabin side. When I tried to push the support into the cabin side, the top would touch, but the bottom wouldn't. I ended up making a 3mm spacer to avoid having gaps between the two pieces.
Then I laid out the rivet locations on the seat pan and match drilled those into the rear support.
I also started working on the L-angle between the support and arm rest side. I got it cut, drilled, and clecoed to the rear support.
