I received the seats from Aerosport after about a year, and they look awesome!

I attached them to the seat bases:

then attached the rails and the seat (temporarily for now), which allowed me to sit in the plane for the first time!

While I had the front seat mounted on, I took the opportunity to find out how far forward on the forward overhead insert the GoPro mount had to be, by taking pictures with it at multiple positions, with the seat full forward:

GoPro picture from the center of the top console insert (seat full forward)

With that, I decided that it's good enough to have it far back, just forward of the O2 distributors (which is probably close to the center position above).
While doing tailcone avionics work, we also attached the rear seat belt cables:

With this, the only thing left for this section is final attachment of the seats, later on when the whole interior is complete.
