Seat back adjustment angles are drilled. I first drilled one angle, then match drill the other
1/8" gap between the angle flange and top bulkhead part
Angles are clamped to match drill the bulkhead top frame
After match drilling the bulkhead part
The gap for seat back aft position is smaller than I expected. I insert a 0.4" thickness sheet, the fit is pretty tight, but still can be inserted. This should be OK, and I don't think I will need to adjust the seat back frequently
