I drilled the holes for the slides before test-fitting the slides, so the holes were off a bit. I installed the two aft nutplates and then I had to file open the forward holes into slight slots. I plan on putting lock nuts on the front two bolts instead of using nutplates.
I also installed the seat back onto the seat pan. The threaded nuts welded on the slides were a little gummed up, so I tapped those and then installed the seat to see how it fit. Looks awesome with a seat finally in it!
I also installed the lower seat belt attachment.
I did receive replacement parts for the inboard seatbelt attachments, however, these also don't line up, so I'm reaching back out to Zenith.
Then I disassembled the right side and started to prep for the left seat.
