Eww, thanks for reminding me how long my 12 month project is taking ....
Well, it has been (slightly) less than a year since you completely started over.

Question: The seat in the foreground has a recliner on the Left, but I don't see a recliner on the other seat.
Is it hidden by the seat in front of it? Or does it have one?

They are identical LH seats.
Made the seat podiums today, very pleased that therer is no welding involved, just laser cut them out, fold and bolt them in.
I will move the rear axle further rearwards as probably 90% of the weight is sitting on them, pun intended, but other than that, happy.
The axles are untrimmed at the moment, that's why they are sticking out so far, and you can see the rollers on the axles.

I was going to just extend the seat podiums that I made yesterday, but got off my butt, refigured the design and made new ones today.
Basically moved the rear axle back 4" to transfer more of the weight to the front axle, you can see in the pictures, old and new, new and new. Also the axles are now covered for for better appearance.
For those interested in how I go about things, all folds were 90 degrees, as I always try to achieve, but in this case I couldn't at the rear, so still keeping it simple at 45 degrees, no using silly bespoke angles if I can avoid them.

Today I made the seat runner channels.
Each made from 2 different size lengths of angle iron bolted together, and when I get them right, I will laser and fold the channels, likely from stainless steel as there's no welding involved, and they will look nice with no painting involved.

I want to make it clear that this is purely a testing situation to set parameters such as positioning and distance traveled by the seats, and is nothing like the intended finished product, both in materials or visually.

But if the passenger wants out, the driver has to get out first?
