Hi Nate;
I don’t have any thing to add except that you might be able to find the parts you need at a aircraft salvage yard. One that advertised in Piper Flyer is Wentworth (www.wentworthaircaft.com)
Please let me know what you learn. I’m sure it will be helpful to others, OR you can write an article (with pics) for the magazine. We’re always looking for reports “from the field.”

Good evening,

New Cherokee Six owner here. Just picked up a new-to-us 1977 PA-32-300 and it currently has all forward-facing seats. Does anybody have a guide or hands-on experience installing aft-facing seats in the center row? So far my homework has revealed the following:
1) The aircraft serial number must allow for club seating as an option (mine does)
2) I need a new floor center section with the appropriate attach points
3) Also need new seat frames
4) I’m assuming this can all be signed off with a logbook entry or a 337
Is there anything I’m missing (besides about $5K for the parts & labor)??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
