What Bob said,-------------- I had been wondering the same thing.
There is no way that my seats would come out as factory built.

So I guess I should have asked, when did you get the finish kit (seats). My builder number is 40745, finish kit in mid 2009 if I recall correctly. My seats do not come out with the flap torque tube cover in place. I've tried!

I would sure like to see a pic of the modified UMHW. I have my pilot's seat out now and and both seat stops loose. It would be easy to make the changes.
thanks

It's pretty easy, I just did it the other day. Just chop about 3/4" off of the plastic guide material at the front of the rail and it'll easily install and come out.

Y'all should do the "Stamper mod" while you're at it. Pull the two 1/4 inch flush bolts out of the rear stop, screw the rail in with a couple four screws and drill down through the seat cover. There's just enough room to miss the spar (don't plunge it) and install -4 nutplates in the seat cover. You'll never have to unbolt the T- handle again.

The only thing that comes up with that search term is this thread!

I'll be back to work on my 10 next week after not touching it for 10 months. Pretty excited to finish it up. I'll post some pictures of the mod aerhed was talking about. I did the nut plates on the back of the T-handle and it still took to long to take the seats out so I ended up figuring out the nut plate on the bottom of the cover. It leterally takes 2 minutes to pull a seat. Takes longer to go to the tool box and get the socket then it does to pull the seats.

I would recommend doing this mod before installing the seat rails for the second or third last time  . The 14 or so flush head AN screws in the seat rails are a PIA and prone to stripping.
