I could swear that Van's provides stick boot rings (for main control sticks) ready for upholstery. I can't find them anywhere though. I also can't find them listed on Van's web store. Am I just imagining that they came with the kit?

Seats go off to the upholster this weekend so I need to find them or fabricate some! Thanks.
 
You may not need them

It was only after I made mine that I discovered that I did not really need them. My interior was done by Abby at Flightline and the stick boots came with velcro on the bottom.

Since I had the rings made, I put the velcro on the rings but the velcro could just as easily been applied directly to the seat pan.

They do not come with the RV-9 Fusealge kit. They gotta be made from .032" AS. Not hard to make, the dimesions and bend angle are on DWG 34.
