Here's the finished passenger seat ready for final installation. (Click the image for a higher resolution photo).

1–2. The rubber webbing was a very labour intensive job, but will make for very confortable seats !

3. The webbing was looped around a strip of 1/2" wide by 1/8" thick flat aluminum stock.

4. Two #6 x 3/4" stainless steel pan head machine screws were used to retain the webbing to the seat frame.

Jump seats and fuel tank: Fuel fill blocking was laminated from marine grade plywood and Douglas Fir stock

1. Fuel fill blocking was laminated from marine grade plywood and Douglas Fir stock. The plywood layer prevents the Fir from splitting.

2. A stainless steel 2" fuel fill will feed the 9.2 gallon fuel tank. The white plywood box is a mockup of the tank. Also visible in the photo are the hydraulic steering's annealed copper tubing lines. It's a very tight installation !
