Dave317 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 So here's the situation. You really want a full size home cockpit but your wife would first laugh at you then divorce you for making 'that thing' in her house. Hmmmm what to do? Ladies and gentlemen i give to you the mk 1 office cockpit/chair. Why that's no good, i hear you cry, she won't let us keep that in 'her house'. TA DA Fold it all away in seconds and it's back to the normal chair again. What do you reckon?:) 1

Dave317 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 When I retrimmed my lotus a few years ago I bought 2 of these seats. One of them had a tiny tear on the underside so they sent me another. I sewed up the tear and fitted it to the base of the chair I had been using. The stick mount is made from a piece of 5mm aluminium plate that I cut and filed into shape. Recoilfx that is amazing! Very ingenius.
