Passenger Seat

March 29, 2015 -

  I bought another box of hush mat to add a little more in the cockpit and to do the trunk later.  I found some cheaper on Amazon but didn't notice it was the black finish and not the shiny metallic finish.  I guess it doesn't matter if its getting covered with carpeting.  After that I mounted some slide rails to the bottom of the passenger seat.  This will probably never be adjusted but I think its a good practice run for the driver's side and this way the two seats are at the same height.  Speaking of height, my excellent advisor Dale recommended I raise the front of the seat 1/2" - 1" to make it more comfortable.  I stacked a couple washers and rubber washers as cushioning in the front of the seat where it meets the slide rail adding about 3/4".  Lastly I routed the cobra seat heater wiring through the transmission tunnel and made a hole in the side of the tunnel for the seat heater switch just above the range of the emergency brake. I haven't wired the seat heater to power yet cause I need to put a 10 Amp fuse there and instead of doing it inline I just bought a 6 fuse panel so that I can have fuses for both seat heaters, the USB charger, the fog lights, and anything else I might think of... more cockpit floor lighting or trunk light?
