They're not as slick as Robin's but these 2" extensions work a lot better than the stock T handle position.  They're pretty easy to make. If anybody wants some let me know and we'll make a batch.

I bought some just like those from Steve Dinieri at IflyRV10.com and they work fine. I originally had the ones that Greg Hale designed. They looked great and worked well, but the thin wall of the lever eventually gave out. I looked at Steve's version of the Greg Hale lever and they are really nice, but won't match the holes I drilled for the Greg Hale lever. So, I settled on the T handle extensions and am satisfied.

Yeah, I made mine but if I knew they were available I'd have just

bought his extensions as well.

Has anybody thought about a modification where you don't have to painfully remove the four bolts so the whole seat can be removed? Maybe some nutplates or something?

I put nutplates on the handle.  Makes it a lot easier.

Along the same lines I put helicoils in the handles but I probably wouldn't do that again. If nut plates worked for Rene then I'd try that. It's nice to have the bolt heads on the inside an no other hardware to deal with.

We installed two nut plates where the rear stops are bolted in.  This way by removing the two -4 bolts that hold the rear stop the seat can be removed.

Sorry, I don't have any photos and will not be able to get any in the near future.  So I will offer a better description, the outside seat rails have notched tracks where the pin on the t-handle engages to hold the seat in position.  On the aft end of the notched piece there is a stop that keeps the seat from sliding off the back of the rails.  It is a stop that the pin from the t-handle hits if you lift up the handle and slide the seat all the way aft.  The stop is held on with two AN-4 bolts, the plans call for nuts to be installed under the seat pan.  Instead of using nuts we installed nut-plates.  So by removing the two bolts the rear stop can be removed, then just lift up on the handle and slide the seat off the rail.  Hope that helps - Jason

That sounds like a great idea. Wish I'd thought about that when I was building. I'm going to take a look next time the seat is out and see if I can perhaps retrofit.
