the top of each rear strut (2) (Ref. Fig. 1 on Page Q-2)
(See Detail D).
2. Place washer (3) onto bolt (4) and insert bolt just
through the top hole in the seat back support (3 - 4
threads). Place the teflon washer (5) on the end of the

rear strut and seat back support and align holes. Insert
bolt (4) with washer (3) through lower hole and secure
with washer (3) and lock nut (6). Finger tighten hard-
ware to allow for adjustment.

cowl and strut. Finger tighten hardware to allow for
adjustment.
3. At the lower hole, secure the strut with bolt (8) and
lock washer (9) on the outside of strut, and two washers
(11) between the front cowl and strut as shown. Finger
tighten hardware to allow for adjustment.
