Re: [A/S] Something missing?



I am having the opposite problem on my '71 Safari.  I am trying to make the
twin beds lay flat.

I posted a question to the vac list and did not get any definate answers.  I
will repost the email here since it has links that are pictures and may help
your situation.

I thought I would try to ask my twin bed setup question again.  This time
with pictures.

The couch normally looks like this:

When I try to set the bed the cushion is crooked like this:

Because of these wood triangle brace located behind the seat:

As you can see the top of the brace is even with the top of the bed cushion
or the bottom of the seat back when set as a couch..  So there is no way it
can lay flat:

So, should I remove these braces so the beds lay flat.  Or what?

Maybe the braces I have are what you need to support the back of the seat?
