The cross brace over the landing gear was extended up about
two
inches
with a plywood and balsa wood brace/flange for the front of the seat to
rest
on. This was glassed over and the locking mechanism for holding
the
seat bottoms down will be placed in it. The hinge for the rear of
the
seat bottom was also raised about two inches to maintain the same angle
for
the seat bottom.
The result should be a seat that is high enough to make it
comfortable
for most adults without causing problems with head room. A very
nice
sized area is available under both seats for storage of valuables under
lock
and key. The full rear seat will fold forward for access to the
luggage
area. One additional modification which is not easily seen is the
center
console section is removable to provide access to the flap control
connections.
