Default Almost a RV14 Seat Mod in/near Texas?

I'm looking to install the Anti Splat Almost a 14 seat mod on an RV7A. Is there anyone in or around Texas that has done so? If possible, I'd like to come check and out and get a pointers before taking a saw to my plane!

I’m in Conroe, just north of Houston. RV-7 with “almost a -14” seat mod. One of the best mods out there.

I have mine on a tip up, but with a different locking system. I use a teleflex cable. Works great.

No one is even moving in Denver today. Certainly not in an airplane.

I claim to be the first to do it to a tip up 6a several years ago. My plane is in Longmont. Call me and come look. 303772twotwozerotwo. Best thing ever to happen to the airplane. The easy exit is good too but only useful for a few seconds per flight while the seat back is all the time.
