The only parts of the Bolkow 105 dual controls which were not removable (easily) were the yaw pedals. They were however disconnected from the control run under the floor so were totally ineffective.

As JE says, there was a liferaft strapped behind the pilot's seat but it did not preclude the use of any of the rear seats. Someone just had to sit with their legs either side of it if all three rear seats were occupied. Oh Happy Days flying to the likes of the Capalonga which used to roll like bxxggxry and had a deck crew who always managed to pull one of the rear doors off its runners !
