But in the upper horizontal edge, the corrugated aluminium sheet also has a t ab that goes backwards (pointing to the baggage compartment), with a tip sli ghtly bend, and this tab goes over the upper angle. I don=99t understand what is this tab for. The problem is that I am now beginning to upholster the seat backs, and it l ooks convenient to eliminate this tab. Does anybody know what is this tab for? Is there any problem to eliminate this tab? Thanks Carlos ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:33:04 PM PST US From: Bill Boyd Subject: Re: RV10-List: Rear seats seatbacks A darned good question I've had since i built my -6A twenty years ago. It's done the exact same way. My hunch is it's to finish the edge which would otherwise be wavy between the rivets, and to add a tiny bit of shear web in addition to the angle stock, to make it less flimsy. I bet it's a complete non-issue, for the loads the seat backs see in use.
