Trade this video with the 7 minute one, this one is pretty useless. When it ended the 7 minute one showed up, but might not always. Send a kit to Finless, he makes great videos.

After watching the video about forty-eleven time; I folded my table tray, and returned my seat to it's upright position. I was ready for flight! :2thumbs:

And these kits are about as "Bob-Proof" as anything that I've ever seen! Pop out one bolt, hang a bracket on a bolt from the kit, and you're almost halfway home! :shocked:
Thank goodness for Vise-grips; I did have to bend the spring clips a fair amount, in order for some light contact to occur.
The toughest part? Getting the second bolt to start, while the first one is still a bit loose... The backing plate kept wanting to shift. After a minor string of cuss-words; they fell into place! :thumbup:

I've got all four of the spring clips in place; the backers will get tackled tomorrow!
This is a kit that tackles a problem, and tackles it for a real loss! It's a "must buy"! :clap:

Hi Bob,


Re: After a minor string of cuss-words; they fell into place!

That usually works for me. :yes:

Re: the backers will get tackled tomorrow!

One never wants to overwork oneself when making changes with unknown results.

I did offer to do it..... People tend to like voice explanations of what to do and what your watching.....

Offer is still open Doc...
