There are two stops for each seat; an angle that&#8217;s simply riveted to the back of the channel, and a piece of aluminum stock that sits on top of a small spacer that lifts the stock away from the bulkhead.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the aluminum stock receiving a slght bend so that its aft end nests under the yet-to-be fabricated angle.
