well i was suprised to find out that the back of the "back seat" was not issued in this kit. as shown in this original instructions, you can see the back peice to put on the back of the seat which would be the floor when the seat is folded down.

in the issue i am building, do you see the back peice? nope..and it's not in the box!

so i took some sheet stock with the grooves in it, and made my own. doesn't look bad at all, it's in paint now though.
