Seat time in the sunshine

Worked on the passenger seat today.  New screws in the hockey sticks, sanded/painted seat brackets semi-gloss black.



New adjusting lever.

Of course, the reproduction hinge screws are too long.  Grrrr.

That's better.  A little filing and we'll be good -to-go!

Before

After

Done - ready to install
