I understand slippery slopes, so if some one tried to slip in a real extra attachment point(s), a tech inspector should say no. But to paraphrase Freud - sometimes a seat mount is just a seat mount.
Which puts an unfair responsibility on a tech inspector to determine something he is not chartered or prepared to do. A 9th mount is a 9th mount is a 9th mount.
