Update:
Swivel seat mods continue!
On our Crater Lake trip, my wife noted the height was perfect, but noticed the seat would swing a bit side to side as I took various corners. Upon checking the slop of the latch at the back/top of the seat, I found it was moving almost an inch. Well, that'll never do...
Back in the shop to dust off my brazing skills...
Original latch:
Old latch removed, new latch fabricated:
Refined, set in place:
Full block rather than just a 5/16" wire:
Initial mounting & testing with spring:
Painted, mounted:
Fully latched:
Unlatched:
Now there's only a tiny bit of slop, and that's normal due to the additional moving parts in the swivel...
Now she'll be happy!!!!
