Almost done...
Now you can drill four 1/8" holes (two in each vertical sidebar) to secure the shock-cord. The picture below shows the purpose of the elastic shock-cord, which is to hold the seat frame up against the back of the chair when traveling or stowing. I drilled my holes at 10" and 27" from the top of the sidebars, laced the shock-cord through and tied simple figure-eight knots to hole them in place. The seat frame now slides neatly into place.
Placing the screw-on rubber feet: these act as limit stops and you'll want to place them in such a location as to give you something to indicate the maximum limits of adjustment. Simply set your chair up and slide the seat frame forward and aft to determine the best utility range for your comfort. On my chair I placed two rubber feet on top of the seat frame rails centered at 3 3/4" from the rear end of the frame, and on the bottom at 12 1/2" from the rear of the frame. Pictures 1 & 2 below should clarify this point.
And finally, you can add a pillow of your choice. I simply took an appropriate sized piece of foam rubber and wrapped it in cloth and used a single piece of paracord to tie it into place, creating a "valley" for my head to rest in.
