Okay, after reading some threads on VAF and studying the plans more, I realized that the section of
hinge I had attached to the seat back was not made per the plans. See how at the inboard end of the hinge
(left end in this picture), there is a 1/2" length of flange without a hinge eye? That's supposed to be
cut off. Doing that eliminates 1/2" of the 11/16" of interference. However, I'm going to have to move
the seat back inboard by 3/16" regardless.
Here's why: When I built the roll bar, I planned ahead for the canopy attachment via Sikaflex sealant. Sikaflex
requires a minimum sealant thickness of 1/8", so I reduced the width of the roll bar by 1/8" on each side (also on top).
Moving the seat back inboard by 1/8" would compensate for that, but this design is very tight. I decided that another
1/16" would be prudent to allow a bit of clearance with the roll bar.
