My coach 1482 originally had Knoedler Air Chief seats and wall mounted seat belt and shoulder harness on both sides. Previous owner had Newell remove the pax Air Chief and install a Villa seat with integral seat belt and shoulder harness. Newell put wall paper over the original holes and installed a seat base for the new seat. The Knoedler Air Chief is in a well several inches below floor level so the new seat base had to be taller than a flush mount base. The seat well dictated the location of the new Villa seat which barely fits. With the seat fully reclined and nearly touching the desk behind it, the footrest is nearly touching the dashboard. Wife has ridden on an air ride seat without a footrest for 7 years and is very happy to have a footrest again. She thinks it was a fair exchange.
