Piper Lance back seats
Does anyone know where I can get some back seats out of a Piper Lance?
Im looking to take out the bench seat in my comanche and putting in some lance seats. Thanks much Tony KAPV N8389P *** Sent via http://www.automationtools.com *** Add a newsgroup interface to your website today. |

Thanks much Do you plan to remove the hatrack and open the baggage area up to the cabin as in the 260B and C models? Are you buying some salvaged bits of later models to build the floor shelf on top of the spar where the bench sits? Just curious how this works... -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |

There was an article in the 2002 "Tips Special" describing someone's adventure in grafting Lance seats into a '60 250, both front and rear. In short they ended up taking the seats _and_ the aluminum and foam sandwich floor with the seat attach points. As you'd expect, the front seats were trivial, but getting the rear seats to work required taking the rearmost Lance seats to bits in order to shorten the vertical supports to adjust the height and angle of the seats, cutting up the sandwich board to fit the area between the rear of the spar and the baggage compartment floor and attaching that to the airframe via rivnuts through angle supports attached to each side of the fuselage. They reused the Lance attach system and quick disconnects but still had to do pull tests to make the FAA happy. They author seems happy with the outcome, but I'm increasingly enamored with my bench seat after reading of his exploits |
