| Subject: | Bad Pilot Seat Tracks |
Looking for some advice. I have tried just about everything, and spent
countless hours "tweaking" the seat rails in my Tiger. I have the passenger
seat working PERFECTLY, but the pilot side is a disaster. The pawls refuse
to engage properly. Will only hold on two sets of holes, neither of which
are comfortable for flying. Looks like previous owners have made one too
many field repairs...
Any suggestions? Is it worth disassembling and installing new hardware (if
I can find any), or just find a serviceable salvage seat bottom assembly?
TIA

A few years ago I got a plane that the pawls on the pilots seat just would not
line up correctly. I installed a different set of hardware with an offset on
the pivot to move the pivot point over about a 1/4 of an inch. It was a lot better,
but not as smooth as I would have liked. It looked like the original holes
had been misaligned or mis-drilled. Some of the seats just seem to be drilled
better.
