MATTS875 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Hello everyone, I looked down at my seat track and noticed that there were cotter pins put through the seat rails.I have looked to see if this was correct and noticed that most have the U shaped brackets.Where do you get these at? I have been unable to locate them. Quote
Ron McBride Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Aircraft Spruce. Look for Cessna Seat track stops. They work perfectly, and are U shaped. Ron Quote
MATTS875 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Posted October 1, 2011 Ron did you order the set with the spacers? I see they have 2 different ones.thanks Quote
MATTS875 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Posted October 1, 2011 Ron also will the pin fit the existing hole where the cotter pins are now or will I need to enlarge the hole Quote
flight2000 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Matt, The cotter pins are correct for the M20E. Not sure about the Cessna Seat stops and never worried about it. Why spend money on something that is already in place per the manual and works fine? The only thing the cotter pins are designed to do is keep the seats from going to far back or forward and falling off the seat rails when you are adjusting them. Never had an issue before and they are easy to remove if you need to take the seats out and clean the plane. Brian Quote
Ron McBride Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Matt, Here is the link for the seat stops, they fit perfectly. No drilling required, just install them. I was missing one in my F, and one was beat up badly. I just put these in, and I don't worry about the seats going to far in the tracks. The seats take patience to reinstall after an annual, I would hate to be ready to fly, and find out a passenger slid the copilot seat to far back on accident.

jetdriven Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 We just used a 1/4" X 1/2" clevis pin and a small cotter pin. Cost is 1$ each instead of 12$. (X4) Quote
