Troop Seat Bracket Pivot?

Post by ez8 »

You might check with John at Midwest Military. I know he makes the brackets for the jump seat so he might also have those pieces.

Gave John a call this afternoon. The part is a special rivet which he has machines in quantities matching his build run of the troop seat so he does not stock extras.

I'm going to use a clevis pin for now, but if I can find someone with a lathe, I'm sure it could be manufactured.

The Clevis pins should work fine!
