I wanted to have automotive seats in my airplane, planning on 3-4 hour flights, I found a seller on Facebook Marketplace and bought a couple of seats out of a Nissan Juke. Initially, they felt heavier than I thought I wanted to use. There were explosive air bags, steel brackets, sliders, head rests, and height adjusters that weren't going to be used in my project. Pre-surgery weight 71 lbs each. Post surgery-35 lbs. I was able to retain the back adjuster. I ordered some low profile, light weight seat adjusters from a speed shop. I'm creating brackets to set the heights above the landing gear, I needed to start making choices about seat placement, installation of control yoke, rear seat supports and more. All before I install the exterior floor and begin the installation of the landing gear.
