| The upper piano hinge across the back of the seats is only 15 1/2 " long by default (as per plans) but this means the edge distance is very marginal for drilling the end rivets. As I have some extra P3 piano hinge so I decided to make a longer replacements. If I had known I could of just cut the 3' P3 stock that was supplied in half and I would have had sufficient to do the same for both sides. |

| The after version. Much happier with this - a trivial thing but it would of annoyed me otherwise. | 
|
| I then cut the uprights and cross members from the angle stock. The seats are going to be very rigid with the angle framing. | 
|
| Dad sorted the lightening holes and tidied the edges of the rear seat brace. | 
|
| We then clamped and drilled the lower corner locations for the seats. For the rest of the rivets we will wait for the Avery order to show up, which includes a rivet fan. | 
|
| Dad finished the angle corners and smoothing whilst I was preparing for the even social. Early finish and out to see the locals. |
