Oh yeah. Follow this link http://www.ejectionsite.com/frame_sg.htm
and it shows the seat with a yellow ribbon that interconnected all the pins. I remember a National Guardsman who was shot through the roof of a hanger in Louisville Ky sometime in the 60's I think, He was working on a F101 VooDoo, but that seat was designed by Weber Aircraft.
The link did not go to the picture so it is in all F104 Seats under the bottom at other seats. and the top of seat pic.
