I decided to
install the seat belts and upholstery. I
started by installing the pilot side seat belts. It was fun to be working on the airplane
again. I have set a goal to be finished
by the end of March 2013. I installed
the pilot side first.
I installed the
lap belt sections, then the crotch strap and then the shoulder harness.
I then began
installing the upholstery. I installed
the pilot floor carpet and the forward side above the floor. I then installed the pilot side panels. It all fits very well. I think it looks good.
Next I installed
the same sections of upholstery on the co-pilot side.
There is a bit of
fitting, tugging and tucking that needs to be done, but that can come
later.
I then put the upholstery on the
rear baggage bulkhead and over the fuel tank and floor. These sections are just laying in place until
I install the floor cover plates. At
that point I can install the Velcro strips. I will work on the
floor cover plate installation and complete the upholstery next time.
