It happened on the ground, at Reid Hillview (RHV) just after I had fueled up. A very nice guy with tools helped me swap co-pilot and pilot seat backs and on got me back on my way in less than half an hour.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, I saw those and was considering them, but they are for 1977 model, so according to Bill, they won't work. They don't look quite the same, either.

I'm looking around, and will also consider Shelby, although the Shelby option would ground me for quite a while.

This problem will not prevent me from going to Alvord, as I could fly with co-pilot seat removed.
