I riveted the hinge onto the bottom of the left seat back so that I could put the seat into the airplane to see how high I wanted the stick to be. Since I had the seat in, I thought I'd have a little fun and put some of the interior in too. It helped to feel where everything would be, especially my arm when it was in the rest. I took a t pic of where I think I'm going to cut the stick off--in the pic the white bit above the grip is going to go.
