    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.

    Thanks, Doc!
    Now that I've seen the installation; it makes PERFECT sense!!
    I'll start on mine tonight, and report back tomorrow!

    Default UPDATE!!!!!

    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!

    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!
    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!

    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"!

    Hi Bob,


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

    That usually works for me.

    Re: the backers will get tackled tomorrow!

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

    We may have to, Bob. I like the sound of your voice better than mine!
