The center console (arm rest) needs to be installed which includes the seat belts, inner seat rails and wiring for headsets.
Seat rails need to countersunk in a few areas and the nylon skids also needed to be counter sunk as well.

Before the arm rest could be fully installed the inner seat belt latches need to be passed through the console and bolted to the fuselage.
