Project: Geek     -     Entry

Wanted to put in an entry to continue the saga of the Skybolt fasteners. I emailed the company and sent them pics of the bad fasteners along with the type retaining washers that I had lost when the fasteners failed. They responded the next day by both phone and email. Sent me a return label so that they could look at the actual failed items and shipped me replacement fasteners and washers 2nd day air. Literally three days after I had contacted them, I had replacements here and installed. Great responsive company.

Started on my interior by doing the skin covering on the sides and center of the seat pan. If you are familiar with this step, you will notice that I did not install the skin covering along the front of the seat. With the seat pan installed, the floor carpeting extends up and over that overhanging lip on the seat. A length of the fastening strip for the carpet attaches to that lip and it will adhere to the fiberglass of the lip better than the skin material. Once the carpet and seats are fully installed, you never see that part. Installed the carpet on to the floorboards and as the instructions suggested, used zip ties to help hold the strips to the boards. Carpet and seats are now fully installed.
