I finally got around to replacing my 1949 8N?s rusty seat pan. The previous owner had just painted over the rust and it quickly became apparent it went
all the way through when the crust flaked off. I noticed when putting it on that the previous seat hinge pin was REALLY honked down. So much that the
new (blue, aftermarket) one from this website didn?t want to fit and I needed to bend the hinge bolt hole tabs back a a few mm to flat again. I?m left
wondering if there is a torque spec on the hinge bolt? I don?t see anything in my IO-4 about the seat hinge at all.
