Nutloose. In a lighter vein - Very similar to the Tucano QRB cover plate over rotation issue late 90s?. Because the Quick Release Box was fitted `to the seat`as part of the SCH when in the aircraft, Weapons Techs (the plumbers) developed an `Instruction` (SI?) to check for over rotation on AF/BF. This consisted of instructions to "Try to turn the cover plate beyond the stop point...." Results? from 1 or 2 arising the failure rate (and u/s QRBs/Aircraft) increased rapidly until someone called off the gorillas!
