Friends,
I don't understand the way the rear seat back of my BJ8 functions.
Please remember I bought the car in pieces, and the 3-piece rear seat
back was in fact a 25-piece item: most of the wood had fallen apart
(the hinges are still okay) and the part that, according to pictures,
should be stationary was held together by its plastic(?) covering. I
renewed both 'fold-out' wooden parts and made a new stationary part out
of what we call triplex over here: 3 layers of wood, glued together.
(believe now the correct name is plywood).
Trying to put the new parts together I notice that the long piece of
wood which reinforces the plywood part and carries the hinges does not
have a rectangular cross section but is chamfered (has a slope). If I
glue or screw that part to the plywood things don't look right to me
and I suddenly wonder whether the material of which the stationary part
was originally made had an angle at one side.
I apologize for the childish descriptions, but English/American isn't my
mother tongue.........
Is there anyone out there who can advise me on this? And does anyone
know why the wood is sloping?
If it would help I can make some pictures showing my problem.
