I not only finally got around to doing this, I actually figured out how to post some pics of the installations! Page 7 of the MOOSE album now contains a pic of our twin, removable, cockpit jump seats. They're comfortable and economical of space. We worried about the portside seat interfering with the door, but with a 4" door hook to keep it open at 90 degrees, there is no problemo. The portside seat allows a counterbalance of weight with the person at the helm.
The u-leg on the starboard seat I made up to be removable using fast-pins. Then I made up a mounting block with an additional set of brackets for under the edge of the helm seat. With a couple of two- inch, drop-in spacer pieces saved from shortening the u-leg for cockpit installation, the u-leg becomes the right height for the helm position. Admitedly, it does block the aisleway, but it's a quick seating alternative for a passenger wanting to face forward and be involved in navigation, etc. All in all, so far we think it's a winner.
