For those with Abby's Flightline interior, how did you mount the rear seat headphone jacks? I'd like to mount mine on the sides panels in the space right in front of the arm rests (there's about 3 inches there). I'm just not sure how to go about it. Pics would be great as I'm a visual learner.

Todd,

That us exactly what I did.  I had Abby leave a 2-3" opening in front of the arm rest.  I had her send me some extra leather and glued the leather to the aluminum side panel where the jacks go, then installed her panel.  I have good pictures at home.  Here is a picture where you can almost see it.  



I'll try and remember to send you the detail tonight.  It turned out really nice!!

Mike that would be great.  



For those following along at home, you can see the space I'm talking about in Mike's pic.  What I'm struggling with is if I mount the jacks to the the aluminum side panel that is underneath Abby's panel how best to modify Abby's panel to get access to the jacks.  The area in question on Abby's panel is some sort of fiber board covered with fabric (in my case syn leather) which is about 3/16 to 1/4" thick (but is compressible to something less than 3/16" based upon my unscientific pinch test).  I'm leery of cutting up Abby's work so I've got to get this right the first time.



My first thought is to simply cut holes in Abby's panel where the jacks are and finish it off with a second mounting nut that would sandwich the fabric between the two nuts.  Sounds too simple which is why I'm looking for opinions.

I created and painted a metal plate to put on top of that area

that I mounted the jacks on.  Then, cut a slightly undersized

hole to match in Abby's stuff, and screwed those parts together.

For the aluminum panel below, I notched out the area so that I

could still slide the panel across and snap it in place.

Whatever you do, remember to put insulating fiber washers under the jacks.

I had Abby cut the armrest about 3" short - she apparently does that a lot. I mounted the jacks on the metal sidepanel top with the insulating washers. The metal is painted gray and the upholstery is gray, so it looks fine. If you try to use upholstery material on top of the metal for appearance, you're inviting broken insulating washers. Somebody will try to make sure the jack is seated with a wallowing motion.

Your passengers won't give it's appearance a second thought, but they will be fixated on that small blemish on the window...(g).

You could put the jacks on the rear seat crossbar support.  That way the cords remain behind the seats and out of the way.

Todd,

Here are the pictures of my install with Abby's interior....  The area under the jack just has one layer of leather, no foam.  Then the side panel is attached .

I hope this helps!
