The steel bars are there to hold the wood map box thingy in place.  I
scabbed them onto the jumpseat brackets with longer bolts.
Also..... Griot's Garage sells neat cupholders that hold the monster cups
(up to a point) and there are two of those on the front of the map box, so
we can drink a ton of coke and then have to pee.

Gotta Go Now.......
