It occurred to me, as I was getting beat up working on my instrument panel update, that perhaps this bowl was used so the pilot could wear a parachute. I spent many hours sitting on a parachute in an old Provost which had a similar, but larger, bowl. Is this why the bowl is there? if not, any ideas????????????Thanks Pete :-) Have a great day!!! --- Mary Lechner --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet. Hi Pete - I might add to Lynn's good advice on coupe original seat cushions that they weighed four and a half pounds apeice. I got rid of over two thirds of the horse hair and stuffed with dense foam instead, saving two pounds. The older we get and the older the coupes get we seem to be adding more weight! Hope this helps in deciding what kind of seating arrangement you decide in your airplane.
