FO-Seat / start conversion work

-

The two used in the cockpit seats are known, from a passenger car CHRYSLER VOYAGER LE. I bought this at the very beginning of the project on the car crash for little money. Although the seats are extremely comfortable and fit in some degree in color in the SIM, but not quite yet. The seats are on a slightly too wide, on the other hand, the YOKE column can only pull up to the edge of the seat and not, as in the original, in the space provided incision in the front seat edge. After I was concerned, the mass of the original 737-seat cockpit, I compared the data (seat width, height adjustment mechanism, etc.) with available seats. After several Ausmessarbeiten turned out that the basic frames of the existing approved car seats approximately 737 with the original mass of the match! So I decided to convert the seats to them in future to miss a worthy 737-look.

is first converted into the FOR seat. First I removed all the padding, the seat is now an insight into the mechanics Gundstruktur and then on this skeleton. der neue Sitz in den 737-Massen aufgebaut.  

Auch die alte Unterbaukonstruktion wurde komplett demontiert. Auf dem Bild der graue original-Zwischenaufsatz, welcher nicht mehr gebraucht wird und ins Altmetall wandert. Durch die Eliminierung dieses Teils wird die eigentliche Sitzkonstuktion um einiges schmäler. Dadurch bleibt mir mehr Spielraum für die Gestaltung der neuen Sitzverankerung. 

The underbody of the seat was mounted directly on the base. possible to see the first construction work in wood, followed later the new seat plate is screwed. It was noted that the mechanism works well to remember the slide to move the seat. This is some renovation and modification work needed on the frame itself. But in the end everything fit together again, as I had imagined.

The FO-seat from the back seen: Well visible are incorporated in the back crossbar of wood to attach the new casing. On the back of the seat back from 10mm MDF in the shell can be seen. The support points were placed so that the backrest has a slight curvature to the inside. Later, the seat back is attached, on which the remaining structure is fixed. Next is the all-cladding of the seat. Since much is still waiting for a carpenter working on me.

the very end is the construction of the new seat cushions in foam for Seats and backrests. Let's see if I can find there a good fairy to sew the covers ... I've since been an idea ...

See you later, wish all readers a good start into the new week ...
