Thanks Karl,
Yes, I did use 6061-T6 .063 for the bracket. I don't have the exact number here in my office on the nut plates, but they were form Aircraft Spruce and they are the floating type that I used solid rivets to attach them with.
I can honestly say that the fiberglass seat recomendation from Shannon is an exceptionally comfortable seat, and actually fun to install. My first series II A-686 had the babana seat and became uncomfortable after a while in the air, whereas this seat seem to be extremely comfortable. I have not flown in it yet, but have no doubts that it will be a huge step forward in comfort. Thanks for this tip Shannon!
I would highly recommend the shoulder harness/lap belt IR set-up. If you need to get a seatbelt anyway you might as well consider it.
Keep us posted on progress,
George
