Default I forgot to ask:

Before I mount these seat rails, is there consensus on which side (inboard or outboard) it's best to have the seat slide adjuster and the seat back tilt adjuster on, respectively?

And I already know about the track notch mod for seat removal without bothering the flap torque tube covers.

Default Mid Seat Rail

Just our preference, I?ve got the seat rail adjustment on the outside of both front seats, also modified the attachment for the rail stop so only the stop (two longer bolts into nut plates) needs to be removed and not the adjuster, so all that works out better on the outside of the seats. Also fitted the after market seat adjustment levers which means the seats can be adjusted from the front of the seat instead of squeezing ones hand between the seat and the side of the cabin. (lot more user friendly for passengers cause it?s the same position as most cars). Originally had the seat back adjustment levers on the same side(outside) but because they were hard to access I?ve moved both to the tunnel side and reversed them both so they stick out toward the back seat rather than forward, because they are close to the tunnel there?s not much chance of accidental activation by back passengers or luggage and ?stuff? on the back floors, we find that that?s works a whole lot better for us, especially when the seat back needs to be folded forward for loading etc, just seems a lot easier to lean in to push the levers while on the wing. You can do the back fold lever relocating at anytime. Cheers from Western Australia

Default Tools

You might think its unusual to modify tools for a specific job but its not if one went to Boeing surplus years back they had bins full of odd looking devices that were made for one item. Sockets end wrenches and others with some welded together.

If your going to have any sort of center console you'll probably want the T handles on the outside. Otherwise I don't think it really matters, just personal preference.
