AlexLev Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just noticed this yesterday, if I roll the seat back, the stop seems to have disappeared. Is this a simple pin somewhere? I can still lock it in place when moving it forward, but it just keeps moving back on the tracks until hitting the back seat behind it, no stop anymore. Ideas? Simple fix?

Marauder Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 There is supposed to be a locking pin that drops into the holes. I suspect it is either stuck up or broken off. Check how the pilot side works and you should be able to see it. You should have a cotter pin in the rail as well to prevent it from going all the way back. That missing?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Some people put big cotter pins in the horizontal holes in the rails. Some people put small hitch pins. some put small machine screws. The S&M would tell you what is proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found something that looks like a locking pin on the backseat floor after my flight a few days ago, I suspect it broke off. Thanks!

carusoam Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Often... 1) dirt has filled the holes... 2) Something is getting in the way of the spring powered pin operation... 3) there are two pins, not just one... 4) 50 years has allowed enough time for a double failure.... 5) Pins in the side, make a great plan B. Now is a good time to remove the seats from the track to see what is going on under there. PP thoughts only, not a mechanic.
