[QUOTE="John Cone, post: 21058, member: 280"] [ATTACH]854.vB[/ATTACH] On the original thread it mentions the seat pan being to short or not reaching the rear cowl. I have in the box of bits 2 enclosed seat hinges both are different in as much that the angles have been forced at sometime, could this be the answer? Looking at the Maughan seat pan compared to mine, it's identicle in every way.
