You could install the rear of the seat pan on a hinge and have an
adjustable seat height with two or three mating hinge halves mounted on
the rear seat support.
I have seen it done this way somewhere but I had already
done mine and have not tried it myself yet.
Inserting the hinge pin may be easier if it is done thru an access hole
in the center console from the other passenger bay since the console is
in the way to insert a long straight hinge pin.

I'm 6'1" and went for the 10 mm on both sides. Then for whichever seat
pan where someone shorter is sitting, I made an up to 2" (?) thick
filler piece sculpted to the curve of the pan, made out of hard
insulation board foam. It's light weight and won't compress, unlike if
one just stuffs cushions in or puts in extra layers of heavy Confor
foam. The upholstered seat pan foam then can either sit down in the pan
or on top of the filler piece.
My dad and I also bought Peltor headsets, which don't have thick
cushions on top or big adjustment slides sticking up above the ear
cups. That's handy for extra head room, especially if one leans
outboard, head against the canopy, to get a better view past the nose,
such as when the nose is high in the flare.

| Subject: | Aileron Trim Tab Length |
Hi All,
Have just installed aileron trim to left aileron, following plans, but supplied
parts were different, resulting in trim tab being longer than aileron by 10mm.
Is this a problem or not? Hoping not..........
Darryl. [Rolling Eyes]

Hi Darryl,
the trim tab has to be even with the trailing edge of aileron. You have to make
the cut out deeper into the aileron to make it fit.

The Ercoupe seat pan was attached with a hinge. It is good to have
access to the area under the pan. Sooner or later, small objects will
slip thru the gaps on the side of the pan. Dirt accumulates under
there, too. Ercoupe experience speaking.
It would be best to use an extruded hinge, since downward crash loads
might fail the rolled tangs on the hinge that Zenith supplies.

You need to buy a "Rivet cutter" and cut those rivets down with some experimenting.
I use solid rivets to install nutplates, and have to cut those little rivets
down halfway between what ZAC sent and what I bought from ACS.
Good Luck,
Mike
