Thanks Gilbert. That's what I needed to know.

Here is a picture of the seat extenders that Steve made. You basically cut the seat rails and weld these in using the tube in a tube method.

Here are some common problems I have found with the Clipper seats. Cracks and kinks. Somethings to look over carefully everytime the seat is removed and at annual. Also know of a couple of airplanes being wrecked because the seat wasn't installed properly and it came out of it's front attach fittings and flipped the pilots back with no control of the airplane.

I don't see any pictures but there seem to be links there that won't open

Pictures didn't switch over when we changed software. Inspect your Clipper seats. Found many cracked.

Talked to my mechanic about doing the seatback extension on my Pacer. He wants an STC or other approved data. How have others handled this?

The above does not work on a Clipper or very early Pacer. The seat back hinge is different.
