Test fit, with the new clip taped to the cushion bottom.

The test showed the clip in the right location, but it needs a slight angle adjustment.

To attach the clips, I used some sheet metal screws. Just in case the cushion collapses to zero, I blunted the screw tips.

And...it works. The front of the cushion will not lift up.

I got some new 5/16 (8 mm) drill bits. I found Milwaukee cobalt bits at Home Depot, labeled for hard metal, including stainless steel. I also slowed down the drill RPM and used cutting oil. Much better drilling success.

Lots of oil on the seals before rolling them onto the tubes, and then I pushed the tubes into place.

After lubing the rockers, shafts, spacers, pushrods, and adjusters, I put everything together and torqued the new high-strength retaining nuts. And then I gave the adjusters a quick clearance setting. One side done!

I just got started on the other side today, when the weather outside proved too tempting.

We took a 3 hour hike in the San Juan Mountains, and the aspen colors were stunning.

Here's the re-plated latch installed.


Those pieces look fantastic, may I ask the process?

Easy process! Just clean the old parts and send to FPS (www.fpswi.com), and specify what finish you want. They are quick and cost-effective.
