I made the rear 6 inches of the armrest behind the pilot removable just in the event the aft pressure bulkhead ever had to be removed. In my case, it was lucky I did, since I had to remove the bulkhead after my ground accident and even then it was very difficult to remove. Without the removabe armrest section, it would have been impossible. Also, I installed a handgrip on each side of the cockpit wall primarily to assist in adjusting seats. Works great especially for co-pilot since they dont have to grab the bottom of the instrument panel to pull seat forward. You should be able to find plenty in your choice of colors at your local wrecking yard. I mounted mine using the technique in the manual for installing the seatbelt anchors. It was a very simple job. --Regards, Bill Hogarty-- --Boundary_(ID_ChKcSbmc0OkO4ZW6dDerRg) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT
