This is to David and any other members re-building the wood fixed pilot seat. It always bugged me when I sat on the seat it was too low. So I was always standing up. When I re-built the seat I made the side supports about seven inches taller and moved the seat about five inches back from the console.This made it much easier to get at wiring and stuff under the console. I also put a foot rest across the front of the seat. I know there are alot of purists who feel these things shouldn't be altered but it made a huge difference .Plus the extra room under the seat allowed me to build a storage locker that fits under the seat. Hope this is helpful. Chris
