Jim,
No difference as far as shear loads on the bolts. For my -8, assembling
nuts on front side of spar due to plumbing and space limitations interfering
with 7/16" bolts from front. Your experience and results may differ.

listers,
Is there any opinion about which way the wing bolts should be installed,
with the nuts forward or aft of the spar?

I'm looking for opinions from you RV8 pilots out there. Classic Aero Designs markets
their RV8 seats with the following statement "To improve comfort in the
front seat, a new backrest has been designed. The backrest consists of a chromoly
frame that is fully enclosed by the seat cover like an automotive seat. The
unique design of the frame moves the pilots shoulders back slightly. Foam padding
provides a slightly wider backrest for the pilot, and padding near the passenger's
knees."
http://www.classicaerodesigns.com/?source=rvproject.com
Is there an issue I've never heard of before with the "normal" Pilot's seat width
other vendors are styling? Even if there generally isn't, is this mod to the
normal seat design desireable? I don't want it if it's a "heavy" seat. I've
never seen any of their work that I know of.
Thanks,
Lucky

Lucky,
I have a set of their seats and they are very comfortable. The
internal frame back rest might be a little heavier, but the comfort
level makes it more than worth it. It attaches to the same hinge that
Van uses and at least for me, (6' 3") the legroom came out perfectly.
The quality of the materials and workmanship are excellent. I think
you will be more than satisfied.

holy cow. i think i get it now. Van's backrest isn't used at all! So you have
to somehow attache a hinge half to the bottom of their seat system. Interesting.
Why did they do that? Just so they could get built in support for their
adjustable head rest? Any real possibility of the internal frame wearing through
the material over time? any pictures from the back and installed? I'm curious
how wide it is over a "normal" seat.
