Kolbers

I saw some recent posts about taking lumbar supports from car seats &  

installing them in a Kolb  -- great idea for long flights. But I got  

to thinking -- many car seats now are HEATED by a 12-volt system. Now  

that's either luxurious, pampering, overkill, sensible, whatever --  

but it would be easy to do & would feel SO good on a cold morning or  

night flight. There are tons of Subaru's around, & most any junkyard  

should have one or two. Others, like Volvo';s, may be harder to find.  

I can't see any dangers here.

Worth a try?

You'll want to do some careful measuring, Russ.  When I was making that 

choice for Vamoose, I HAD to have this really nice racing dune buggy seat, 

with full suspension and the whole 9 yards.  So I bought it - something like 

$300.00 or more, brought it home.......and it was too big.  Could NOT make 

that thing fit, no matter what I did.  And the seller didn't want to refund 

my money.  Had a heck of a time with him, but finally did work it out. 

Lar.                Do not Archive.

Dana:



I have been using a Chilli Vest, 12VDC, digital electronic thermostat, 

water proof, since 2000.  Made 2.5 flight to the Arctic with it. 

Works great on the 912ULS electrical system.  Keeps me nice and warm 

without all the bulky clothing I wore on previous Arctic trips.
