[MRCA] M151A2 Commo #5 FAC Seat

[MilComm Guy]

Today I finished the installation of the FAC seat brackets, this allows the
passenger seat to be installed facing the rear to operate the equipment in
the back.  The original seat mounts are un-touched and the seat mounts in
either direction, the additional brackets are mounted between the front
mounts and on the toolbox cover.  This is an original configuration used
with the FAC radio set mounted in the rear of the M151 series of trucks,
these would have been part of the radio installation kit.  I found the
toolbox mounted bracket from a wanted ad and the front mount was reproduced
from pictures and measurements supplied by Breck K4CHE.  Breck introduced
the set up to me and suggested I try it as it was a very handy operating
position.  First application will be at the Weare NH MV show this month
operating the Mite tty from the back on the Saturday RATT net.
