I like those seats! Imagine how much MORE weight you would have saved had you gone fabric vs leather :wink:

Did you go with the original seat height? I want to re-do my seats mainly to lower my position in the plane. I get a sore neck from ducking down to look out the side windows :?

I'm debating a recover of my current seats or trying to find a set of articulating ones.

Can I ask what the cost was for the seat work?

TIP: If installing seats from another model aircraft BE CERTAIN to research AD notes against them, and to LOG THE SOURCE-AIRCRAFT BY MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER in the event any other AD should be issued in the future.

Those seats do indeed look very nice. (A bit of lower back support (lumbar roll) might be nice.)
