Hello All,

I have a quick question that I figured someone on here would know. Lets say I wanted to remove the front seat on a Cessna 172, 175, 182 and use the seat rails as mounting points for something far lighter than the seat and the human that would sit in it and thus those rails would be under much less load. I might also need to remove the rear seat as well to accommodate the item I am thinking. I could ensure and prove ( with engineering calc) if needed that my method of clamping does not damage the rail and will never let the item shift in flight.

Thoughts?
