That's a good idea! I wish I had thought of it before I did mine. If you don't mind, I'd like to add that tip and photo to my website, for my next RV8!The second picture shows the reinforcements I added to the back sides of the seat back. It seemed to me that the ones called for in the plans were a little skimpy. It looked to me like the fiberglass portion would have to support to majority of the seat back load and since most of my friends are on the hefty side, I wanted a little more support here. So I epoxied and riveted on a longer, thicker doubler.
