Chapter 24/26 – Headrest pads installed

Another 2-day post here…

First off, here is a shot of the back seat area with the GIB headrest pad in place… honestly, I don’t remember if it was actually mounted or not.

But it definitely is mounted here below, as is the pilot headrest lower pad… both pads secured with #6 screws.

Also note the GNS-480 GPS antenna atop the pilot headrest is covered with a painted 2-ply fiberglass radome…. just to make it look snazzy.  Gotta have some fun with this stuff!

Here’s a side shot of the pilot headrest mounted lower pad.  It looks good secured to the surface with the aft side nice and flat.

I made a video on how I mounted these pads, which is something that would have been helpful to me when I was figuring out how to do it.

Lastly, here is a quick shot of the left rudder gust lock, painted, and a quick fit check.  The paint needs some cleanup, but besides that it is functional.

Again, pressing forward!
