The pans say to have an overall hinge length of 15.5 inches where the seat back is 16 inches. Naturally I cut 15.5 inches and centered it on the seat back. Didn't look quite right so I looked harder and it appears the really there should be 16" of hinge, with the closed end on the inboard side. The inboard edge of the seat back should be right on the edge of the tunnel cover flange. Does that sound right to you guys? It would be better if Van's gave a dimension relating the seat back positon to the airframe.

The drawing can be a bit confusing: On drawing 30, bottom-center, note "F-637 Seat Back Assembly". To the left, in area A-7.5, note the side view at bottom: "F-637E Make from AN257-P3 Hinge 16" long". Then, note the front view in area A-6, shows a dimension of 15 1/2" Total Hinge Length. You can see that the dimension is actually from the end of the hinge eye on one end to the end of the hinge eye on the other end. Bad wording in my opinion.

Phew...:) Thanks Frank -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of sjevans Subject: RE: RV7-List: Seat Backs in a 7A --> RV7-List message posted by: "sjevans" Frank, I'm working on the seat backs too.
