Thanks for the info.
Got us a day in the shop yesterday.
Kid used a tiny diamond bit in the Dremel to detail burrs off of slider teeth tips.
Big magnifying lens helps.
Afterwords we drug the seats out for some evaluation.
My friend longtime William came by to visit and one thing leads to another.
A true gearhead can’t just watch!
Seats came apart easily enough.
Interesting to see how it was done.
Frames were rusty and needed cleaning.
Going to need a few tabs re-made and welded on.
Think I’ll just push the ‘easy’ button and take them to the powder coater.
Got a ton of pics so i can remember how these go.
All of the stuff (waft? batting?) that white thin cloth the rods slide thru to give the seat shape are all rotten gone,
but otherwise the covers and foam look great.
Put everything on the trampoline to be rained on and sunshine.
The smell was enough already by the end of the day.
Two challenges i see with these:
1. Getting the aforementioned thin cloth replaced. I’m thinking an upholstery shop would make easy enough work of it.
2. Remediating dark stains; vinyl in odd areas has these dark brown blotches. Often it’s where direct sunlight hits.
Oh, and I scanned in the electrical pages from my Haynes manual,
And my kid helped me arrange and edit/clean up the images.
Got them printed out large and laminated.
On and on. Progress is progress.
