Seat Frames not square

A word of caution. Set up Seat Tracks and seat frames on bench setup to trial fit before installing in fuselage.

I found both bucket seat frames were not square from front to back. The back feet center to center distance was 5/32" narrower than the front feet. So when the seat frames were set on a set of parallel seat tracks they would bind and not slide. I needed to cut the weld loose on one corner, pry out the frame so the roller brackets were parallel side to side and then weld back together.
