REFLECTOR: Rear Seats

[Dennis Martin]

Same problem in my 173 Elite. I moved seats a bit forward, and I used a
combination of certified foam densities that would protect the passenger,
but not put passengers too high. I will pick up a prototype upholstered seat
Monday. Then I'll let you know exact headroom.

Best,
Dennis
