REFLECTOR:Front seat hard points

[S Baker]

Rather then rush into putting in the front seat hard points now, I suggest
that you assemble the seat hardware - throw some foam padding or thin pillow
onto the seat bottom and seat back - and jump in.  Position the seat
adjuster near the middle of its travel ... then physically scoot the entire
seat and mechanism forward or rearward so that the seat position feels "just
right" for you.  Make sure that the geometry of your right arm feels
comfortable when touching the stick (in other words, so that you don't feel
like you're either jammed or reaching).  When your happy with the position,
mark the seat mount location on the floor.  From there, it's a simple matter
to locate the position of the hard points.
Best regards,
Scott B.
