All,
I've started the installation of my Gaucho and have a question. First
of all, the front area had been redone and none of the original stuff was
there and I'm working from photos and drawings with dimensions I made from
another 1969 Caravel.
What I don't have a photo of is how the shelf under the front window is
held in place. It's the one with the flat length of 80 1/2" and is 8 1/2"
deep. My photo is from above that shelf with the back rest flipped up. Had
I had the camera a foot or two lower, I might have captured the fastening
manner.
With the weight of the cushion and wood backing hinged to the 4" high
lip attached to the shelf, that's a lot of weight to support from little L
brackets I see were used elsewhere.
Can anyone tell me how it's secured and if it has much structural
integrity with all that weight?
Thanks,
Glyn Judson
