REFLECTOR:Front seat hard points

[Andy Millin]

Scott,

Thanks for responding.  It is appreciated.

Unfortunately, I have already followed the plans and put the hard points in.
This included removing the inboard rears (that was a mess) so I could mount
the speed brake.  This happened about 9 months ago and I had requested that
the plans be corrected so no other builder will have this problem.  I have
read the new manuals and the problem is still there.

I would strongly suggest that the method you have just proposed here be
written into the manual.  I'm sure the future builders will appreciate it.

Given the situation that I have, what does the factor suggest that I do?

Best,

Andy

Rather then rush into putting in the front seat hard points now, I suggest
that you assemble the seat hardware - throw some foam padding or thin pillow
onto the seat bottom and seat back - and jump in.  Position the seat
adjuster near the middle of its travel ... then physically scoot the entire
seat and mechanism forward or rearward so that the seat position feels "just
right" for you.  Make sure that the geometry of your right arm feels
comfortable when touching the stick (in other words, so that you don't feel
like you're either jammed or reaching).  When your happy with the position,
mark the seat mount location on the floor.  From there, it's a simple matter
to locate the position of the hard points.
Best regards,
Scott B.
