IN A PREVIOUSE POST A HAD A PHOTO OF MY COCKPIT BUT THE SEAT WAS A PIANO CHAIR. SO I BUILT A COCKPIT SEAT. I THOUGHT ABOUT USING A TRUCK SEAT BUT I DESIDED NOT TO. BY MAKING IT MYSELF IT PROBABLY SAVE ME MONEY. SO HERE IS THE BLUEPRINT THAT I SOMEWHAT WENT BY.

 

CAN'T REMEBER WHERE I GOT IT, YOU CAN FIND IT ON GOOGLE IMAGES. THIS IS NOT MY DRAWING.

 

SO I BUILT IT, IT IS NOT COMPLETELY FINISHED BUT HERE IS SOME PHOTOS OF HOW I MADE IT.

 

HERE IS PART OF THE BASE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HERE IS THE CURRENT PHOTO. THE CUSIONS I TOOK FROM AN OFFICE CHAIR THAT I TOOK FROM SOMEOME WHO PUT IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR CITYWIDE CLEAN-UP DAYS. (SAVED MONEY). THE WHITE MATERIAL IS ARTIFICIAL SHEEPSKIN FROM AMAZON. IT WAS AROUND $20 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND I HAVE SOME EXTRA MATERIAL. 

IT STILL NEEDS TO BE PAINTED AND IT NEEDS ARMRESTS. I WOULD RECOMMEND USING PLYWOOD. WAFERBOARD IS NOT VERY STRONG.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FOR THE ADJUSTABLE BACKREST I DRILLED A HOLE IN THE 1X2 IN THE PHOTO AND PUT A SCREW IN IT. THE SCREW HAS A SPRING GLUED TO THE OTHER SIDE. THE SCREW ALSO HAS WASHERS ON BOTH SIDES. ONE FOR STOPPING THE SCREW AND ANOTHER FOR PULLINT THE SCREW. I DRILLED HOLES INTO THE WAFERBOARD SO THAT I COULD PULL THE SCREW TO ADJUST THE BACK REST. I WILL UPDATE ABOUT THIS PART IN A DIFFERENT POST.

 

 

 

 

                  I HAD TO SEW THE SHEEPSKIN ON. BE CAREFUL WITH THE NEEDLE!!!

 

 I WILL UPDATE ON THIS WHEN I PAINT IT AND/OR PUT ARM RESTS ON IT.
