rail and the<br class=3D"">upper base rail, two pieces 22" long for the =
side rails, one piece 12" long<br class=3D"">for the center rail, one =
piece cut 7" wide x 38 & 1/2" long for the lower<br class=3D"">base =
rail.<br class=3D"">Now, turn your Luan back rest over on the floor so =
that the markings you<br class=3D"">made earlier are facing down. Next =
lay out your pre cut lengths of 1/2" ply<br class=3D"">as follows:<br =
class=3D"">First place your two side rails on the outside edges either =
side, then place<br class=3D"">the 7" wide base rail horizontally =
between them at the very bottom, directly<br class=3D"">above that place =
the upper base rail and then place the top rail at the top<br =
class=3D"">edge. Finally figure and mark the center point of the top and =
upper base<br class=3D"">rail out, mark it and place the 12" center rail =
vertically between these two<br class=3D"">points. You now have your =
basic frame laid out. You need to attach these<br class=3D"">frame =
pieces to the Luan. I would suggest (now you know how it should look)<br =
class=3D"">removing them and re-laying them out on the floor in front of =
you, then<br class=3D"">place the Luan board on top (with your markings =
facing up) and nail through<br class=3D"">the Luan into the ply wood =
frame rails, a little glue wouldn't hurt.<br class=3D"">YOU ARE ALMOST =
FINISHED!<br class=3D"">Once the frame pieces have been nailed to the =
Luan and the glue has dried,<br class=3D"">take a plane and knock a 45 =
degree bevel top frame rail, but not so deep<br class=3D"">that you cut =
into the Luan. Then, with a jig saw, cut out areas we marked<br =
class=3D"">earlier.<br class=3D"">Once again lay the back rest on the =
floor, frame side up, as we have two<br class=3D"">more pieces of wood =
to add. These strengtheners are 23 & 1/2" long, 1 & 1/2"<br =
class=3D"">wide by 1" deep. They run top to bottom, on their edge, at a =
slight diagonal<br class=3D"">beginning, (measuring along the top of the =
backrest) 4" in from the hood<br class=3D"">bow notch on either =
side - to just inside the notch we cut out for the leaf<br =
class=3D"">spring shackle. You will see once you lay these on your =
backrest that you<br class=3D"">will have to notch out these =
strengtheners so they attach to the Luan in<br class=3D"">some places =
and frame in others. These pieces have a 45 degree bevel on ALL<br =
class=3D"">FOUR long edges that will be inside the seat back. In =
addition the ends are<br class=3D"">cut at 45 degrees so that they taper =
to create a wedge (2 - 2 1/2" long)<br class=3D"">towards the top and =
bottom of the seat. These pieces are then attached to<br class=3D"">the =
back rest with screws from behind.<br class=3D"">There are just two more =
things you have to do. In the square area of Luan<br class=3D"">that you =
now see either side of the center rail, drill a 1" air hole in the<br =
class=3D"">middle. Finally, sand all the outside edges so there is =
nothing that will<br class=3D"">rip you new leather when it's =
applied.<br class=3D"">THAT'S IT!!!! You now have a Morgan back rest!<br =
class=3D""><br class=3D"">You should be able to re-use the springs from =
your old back rest. As I<br class=3D"">mentioned earlier, there are 19 ! =
The two side rails get three large ones<br class=3D"">each as does the =
center rail, the top row of the larger ones are bent down.<br =
class=3D"">The square Luan section on each side get five small springs =
each, in a<br class=3D"">square shape with one in the middle. All =
protruding frame edges on the<br class=3D"">inside of the seat are =
covered with horse hair. A good auto upholsterer<br class=3D"">should be =
able to take it from here.<br class=3D""><br class=3D"">Good luck!!<br =
