Re: Working Man's Burbon

Well my free holes turned against me. Once I got the center and both outside latches bolted down it was clear that the old holes were of no use. Not only were they too high the 4th door side was really cockeyed. (Photos #1 & 2).

I took the two latches and screwed them to a straight board in the correct spacing. (Photo #3) Then I only had to get the board lined up on the center base and make sure each end was the same height to mark the holes. Photo four shows everything as it should be, all nice and lined up.
The worst part of the previous attempt to put the square body seats in is that some FO ( Future Owner) will look at all the holes (Photo #5) and wonder if the PO who installed the seats knew what a tape measure was?
