Full aft position...I did not measure, but I estimating that the sliding seat option yields about a 10" travel range

It certainly is a "finicky" install with respect to seatback and seatbelt attach point clearances! I ended up moving the seat pans outboard approx 12mm to mitigate clearance issues. The arrows pointing to holes on the pan were factory pilot holes - they simply would not provide clearance - at least anyway that I could fit and/or measure. I suspect the install is somewhat of a custom job for each fuselage, maybe even per side? Thanks for all your comments. Nice to have a second set of eyes helping me out with quality control!!
check to make sure the seat belts fit
