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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:55:13 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Bad Pilot Seat Tracks 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message teamgrumman-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/TeamGrumman-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/teamgrumman-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/teamgrumman-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
