[DMCForum] Re: John Dore's Back Seat

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK -- all these questions must be leading somewhere... (Like all the
questions Dave Delman asked over the winter before showing up at
Pigeon Forge with an honest to goodness onboard computer). It's hard
NOT to spot a project in process.

Note the angled shape of the fiberglass in the ECU and relay
compartments. There's a frame under there -- don't plan on cutting it
away.

If I'm not mistaken, Louie Golden has transported 5 people in his D.
I've only done 3 (one on the parcel shelf), but we did travel 5 miles
like that. Who needs a seat?
