why not join forces on the seats
Anthony,
I hope you are doing all right and all the best.
Re the seat cushions: I am in the process of sourcing new seats for my -4 (however the ones which came with the RV-4 are surpisingly comfortable - no issues on flying legs over to the UK, ca. 330 NM and +/- ca. 2:10 of flying; however after 2:30 hrs I just want to get out of the RV-4 actually ... at the size of 6,3" and 210 lbs):
As I am facing the same tax/shipment issues you are I am thinking of getting seats made here by a car upholsterer who did my interior on the Robin:
What I am thinking about is:
- we make up our mind on the material we want (ie. temper foam, grey fireproof cloth)
- I go and see my upholsterer and get a quote for 2 sets
- we get the seats done with my seats as the master
- my brother who lives in St. Gallen can take your set with him in the car (so no shipment and no tax for you ... with a bit of luck).
I am in no hurry so we can take our time for this in the next couple of month.
Just let me know what you think
Heinz
