Jim & Alan, I am inclined to add a couple of words of caution for those
about to embark on full scale leather and impact foam upholstery:
1. It can weigh a considerable amount
2. It is inflexible in terms of size of pilot/pax who will fit
An alternative is to have relatively light weight cushions (mine were
recycled from an old Citroen in a scrap yard, chosen for their pleasing
appearance and light weight) with variable amounts of foam or other
cushions to adjust to pax size. It has worked well and been pleasing to
the eye for 14 yrs, and contributes no doubt to mine being one of the
lightest 914s in the fleet.
Regards, David
