Forward Fuselage - Left Seat Installed

10-11AUG2024
     
Made great progress on the left seat this weekend.
  
I finished fixing the rear seat support l-angle I messed up last time.  I made a wider angle so the holes would not be on the edge.  I also cut and drilled all the l-angles for the front support.
  
I drilled the holes for the slide bolts and the rear nutplates.  Once the rear bolts were in, I drilled the holes for the forward bolts.  This went way better than the right seat and I didn't have to file any holes open.  I did need to retap the welded-in nuts on the top portion of the slides like I did on the right seat.
  
I also received undrilled rear seat belt brackets from Zenith since the other ones I previously received did not line up correctly.  I matched drilled the holes into this new undrilled bracket.  The holes are off-center a bit, but they're not too close to the edges so I think it's ok.

Then I started disassembling and drilling holes to final size.
