Because of the reinforcing tubes under the rear seats the fuel line routing is challenging.

Wall clearance... I would have liked to push them inboard another inch. Notice the rails do not point straight at the pedals.. These seats ended up 3/4 inch outboard of the Airframes location. I hope it feels natural
I thought the same thing. I remember seeing one of Paul Claus's 2 place Cubs with front brakes only but I think it was offset more.Silly question - is that the standard way Airframes Alaska is doing the brake master cylinders? Seems the whole unit is in the way with them outboard instead of reversed and inboard like standard Cub? My foot would always be hitting the pedal and unit (flying with heels on the floor).
If you are used to flying toe brakes, it is a good ideal to fly duck foot (heal inboard and toes turned out) for 50-100 hours to get your body used to that position. You should be landing with the heels on the brakes working the rudder with the balls of your foot, kind of reverse of a Cessna. Once you get used to it it won't matter what you are flying your feet will just do the right thing.

I'm looking for suggestions for ferrying a C-120 from Coeur D'alene, ID to northern Georgia. Looks like I'll be taking a few days off after Thanksgiving to go get a friend's plane and bring it down here for two aspiring mission pilots to build time in. I'd like to make it fun and stop at some grass strips along the way. It would be neat to meet of few of you and see the areas you fly in if possible. I'll have the owner of the plane with me who still hasn't soloed yet. We will be near gross with fuel and a couple sleeping bags on O-200 power so performance will be pretty limited.
Glad it helps but remember you saw it on the internet. I'm no pro builder.
Looking at the route down through Salt Lake to Albuquerque and then I-40. Less blizzards but mountain winds and high passes.
