I had a look for various storage spots on mine not so long ago, it's all annoyingly split up by outriggers underneath. There is a bi...

I was pondering the mechanisms myself, and thinking that all the nice flat, simple linkages would be very easy to waterjet/laser cut...

You could make a killing selling proper replica Dormatic seats, but I suspect there would be a copyright problem...
