Starting the Seat Ribs

Today I am on to the seat ribs. First task is to cut out 4 spacers. Used a hack saw and filed to final size.



Next the center two seat ribs must be cut to make room for the control stick linkage.

So I draw the shape I will remove and use a cutoff wheel to make quick work of it.



The cut out the notch so that the controls can be installed. Repeat the same thing again in mirror image and these parts are complete.
