And you need a 5 or 6 leg base so you do not self eject.

Actually, I have an old parachute I can sit on! :P

As for the base, it provides adequate support because the business that allows the original seat to tilt is no longer there so the ejection seat is always upright.

However, I may move the seat forward an inch or two. Right now it's just a quick fab-up using original mounting points.

Doesn't look like it's ever been used, I don't see a stain in the bottom of it. :lol: :lol: :lol:
