The seats are fun and easy to assemble, unfortunately I cannot find my assembly pictures.
Here is a another highly detailed blog of the assembly of the front seats.
Sara's Sling Build Log - Seats
My kit shipped with version one of the seats that has the Rube Goldberg seat latch mechanism.
I planned on having my seats power coated for durability as they are in a high use item.
I wanted the latch handles to be red so they were visible inside the cabin.
I determine that I could partially assemble the latch mechanism and the seat pin supports and provide some rigidity to the part so that I did not damage the paint due to the flexibility of this part.
In this picture you can see that some rivets are pulled prior to painting which hold the seat pin guides in place.
In this picture you can see that the guide pins inside the latch mechanism.
With the parts painted I was ready to complete final assembly.
It took a bit of careful assembly but all parts were installed including all nylon guides.
With both seat locking mechanisms built I could permanently attach them to the bottom of the seat.
Closeup-up the latch pull fully assembled and installed.
