Finish Kit Update March 2011 Updates March 27, 2011 Seat Area Carpet Install ..... - 3.0 hrs Dug around the hangar to find the center console cover. This is the piece that covers the center tube and the little patch of carpet goes over this. I have looked all over for this and it was in a box with the other Hooker seat belts. Its always the last place you look.... Jon B came over to help me time the mags. They should be fine since the engine was run in at the factory but we did have to remove the right one to install some fittings and I wanted to make sure we put it back correct. Jon showed me how to hook up the buzz box and they were dead on. One more thing down for engine start. I installed a few more of the velcro hook discs around the edges of the carpet to keep it from coming up and installed the pieces that go behind the seat. Looks good. Later that night after bowling Derek drove us to the alley so we went by the airport on the way home to give him some experience on Hwy 290. Yoohoo.... While we were at the hangar I talked him into crawling into the back and placing some wire tie blocks in place. He is nice and skinny so he was able to get back there like nothing.
