Has anyone replaced the seatback guide on the right side of a CS as
per the AD? I got the kit from M&H last year but haven't done it
yet. Doesn't seem hard, a few rivets and two reinforcing plates for
either end.

It seems that some European pilot got knocked back when the seat
became unlocked, hence the AD. Mine is pretty stuck in place anyhow,
not the best design.

Juan,
My club has a CS. Can you advise where I can locate details of this AD
online?

I got the details and the kit from M&H. It was very easy to do.

Worked fine except that the enclosed rivets didn't fit the holes in the new plates.  I had to enlarge the holes slightly.
