Which Fruit Is Good For Phlegm

FO-Seat / Part II

-
After a short break we finally continue with the conversion of FO-seat:
After attaching the back and back cover ready the pages in order for the covers embedded could be. The parentheses innwendig stop strips were glued. Between the wooden structures, the steel frame (yet) visible. Links below the steel device for attaching the retractable arm rest left. This was previously removed and experiences at the appropriate time a separate finish ...













Der FO-Sitz von der rechten Seite aus gesehen:
Die Seitenwände sind eingepasst und montiert.
Das Ganze sieht so natürlich noch etwas nackt und sperrig aus. Das wird sich aber bald ändern.


Die rechte Seite wurde mit einem Watte-Fliess überzogen and festgetackert. In then follows the coating of gray leather.

The FO-seat from the front to the coating of both sides with leather: was covered only the later-in intelligent part of the seat. On the back is made later to the still visible MDF board the new back upholstery using an 8mm thick foam, which are designed to measure must
Detail. Condyle on the left side of the seat with a finished trim with gray leather . The devil is in the details, as always. A lot of work for a small part.
Der FO-Sitz von hinten: Der mittlere Teil des Sitzes wird demnächst mit einem weiteren Aufbau ausgerüstet, so wie im Original. Darin wird ein Boddy-Shaker verstaut. Von den beiden schwarzen Streifen und dem sichtbaren Holzteil in der Mitte wird später nichts mehr zu sehen sein. Weiter werden die Abschlussarbeiten an der Oberseite der Sitzlehne unter Miteinbezug der Kopfstütze folgen. Diese wird auch modifiziert und mit einem 737er-Look ausgerüstet. Sobald diese Arbeiten abgeschlossend sind, wird die Sitzfläche ausgearbeitet. Polstermontage und Bau des Untergestells erfolgen ganz am Schluss. Also, bis später wieder, bald geht's weiter...

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 ...
