[Tigers] Seat bolts

The two basic bolts in the Tiger seats are the backrest pivot bolts and 
the bolts that support the locking and spring mechanisms.  I don't have 
the OEM print available but I use a 1/2-16 tap on my seats for the pivot 
bolts.  This accepts the OEM bolts and Rick's replacements.  The other 
three bolts are 1/4-28 x 2.5" long.  The OEM bolts have threads all the 
full length of these flat head bolts.  I use standard flat head socket 
bolts to replace them which allows the mechanisms to pivot on the solid 
portion of the bolt above the threads, reducing wear.  Rick also sells 
the 5/16-24 bolts with the Truss heads to attach the top semi-circular 
portion of the locking mechanism to the backrest and the peg that the 
spring loaded lever presses on, that mounts on the opposite side.  As 
far as I know, no one makes or sells replacements for these pegs.
