Upholstry Referbish

[n86121]

My interior was done by the crew who do Air Force One, next door, at Andrews AFB.

First I bought new plastic bits, which are thicker than the original.
They mostly fit, but a heat gun got them spot on.

Then the AF-1 crew overlaid plastic with synthetic leather from douglas aircraft interior,

I used douglas again to supply local auto interior shop with materials.

Just got my aircraft back from a set of upgrades and now its time to start considering upholstery. I'm going to call around this week. I've been thinking about any work that might precede the interior and i am concentrating on two issues. The location of the light and vents. I have 6 vents that are located on the outer edge of the cabin, but I have cabin lights for everyone controlled by a single switch (also controls my outside light). I've noticed some people when they showed pictures of their upholstery have a spin that goes down the middle containing all their vents and single lights for each station. I don't know if that was the way their aircraft was setup, or did they move surrounding lights and vents to a central location.

If someone did move those around, was that something you prepared ahead of time or was it all done during upholstery.
