I think you are right, the sliding seat started and ended with the A2-2. I wonder if they made a bunch of these parts? I have not seen the twin engine version. Sounds interesting. I think I will just stick with my old stock alon.
I need to buy new exhaust stacks and I think I want to go to stainless steel. Do you know anyone who carries these specifically for the Alon? I called a couple places in trade-a-plane but they didn't even supply Ercoupe, much less Alon. A friend bought stacks for his ercoupe from Wag- but they didn't fit well. Thks.
