[Tigers] Seat Refurbishment

[Stu]

Thanks to Ron and Joe Brown for their photos, I think I know what was
missing, though I still don't know why there was evidence of a large screw
having been where there shouldn't have been one.  I know my previous owner
had the tiger plus an Alpine for parts, so maybe some parts swapping on the
seats happened too.  Sometimes you just don't know.

Tonight I pull the upholstery and foam off the seat bottom, and see what I
unearth there.  Tomorrow, we'll see if any of those screws have loosened up
enough to come out.  My new Impact tool is ready.
