: it when I get there in about 10 hours. Otherwise, go to

: and post this question there.

Here they are.
Cockpit 23"x 34". You can use any style cockpit as long as your sprayskirt fits. The Guillemot cockpit would do fine.
Centre of Balance (CB) is just forward of station 9, about 1.5".
Cockpit starts about 4" behind station 10 and finishes about 6" in front of station 8. There is no absolute spot for the cockpit, but a rule of thumb is have the CB about under your crutch and give yourself a good 4-5" inches behind your back to lay back. The Endeavour is rather high in the back however, so I would flatten the back deck and put a rolling recess in if you want to roll at all.
Hopes this helps.
