Brief Description:  Adjust seatbacks for rollbar

Spent time cleaning up the interference points between seat back and rollbar. Position of the seatback mounting hinges determines the proximity to the fuselage area where the rollbar mounts. On the other hand, mounting the hinges too close to the center can interfere with the electric flap housing. Mine were just close enough to interfere with the inside of the rollbar where there will be several bolt heads securing the rollbar.

There was no easy way to 'flatten' and rebend the outboard ends of the seatback braces, so these were cut off, and a new 'angle' riveted on about 1/4" further inboard. The top corner of the also needed to be trimmed and a little aesthetic trimming of the vertical angles on the seatbacks made it all 'look' better.
