Great job, definitely a 109. I've always enjoyed the "FAC" seat especially during events as you can interact easily with other participants instead of being buried in the back seat, crawling over the seat to get in the rear is a real PITA.

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.
