Hi all,
I got around to trying to install my new Aircraft Spruce Seat Sling recently. It differs in that the top part of the sling has a second piece sewed to the back, as opposed to the old one I removed which was one long piece of canvas that you would lace to the top bar.
As you can see in the photos, the first one is the finished, top, side. The second photo is the unfinished, bottom, side.
I ran into the problem at the top cross bar. Note how the one piece front is notched out for the bars that come up to the top cross bar. Note on the back is sewed the one long piece without notches. To install this I would have it install it upside down, with the unfinished seams showing and the finished seams facing the bottom of the airplane. I would believe the notched part would have to be on the back, or bottom unfinished side, so it can come up around those two reinforcement bars that attach to the top bar. The large one-piece shouldn't have the cutouts so it can wrap up and over the cross bar. Am I missing something here?
I called Aircraft Spruce and spoke with their sewing department. The person who makes these is in the hospital. They want me to send it back, along with pictures, to show them what the problem is. For an item that costs over $145 I would like one that is sewed correctly. Your thoughts, especially anyone who has installed one of these.
