As soon as they are done Dave at Equinox will have the mold and he will be making them so give him a shout in a couple of weeks. I will take them out as far as I can because its easier to add a bit of padding if they need some .

I tried chopping the seat around and stretching/wedging the fiberglass to gain the width but as soon as the wedges were removed it was back where I started within a couple of hours. The trouble is the mold has to be taken from the inside which is where all the wdges are so I think its probably best to get Dave to slice one in half and add the width in the middle, then mold from that. I have been up to my nuts in work so not had a chance to do anymore on it. I will speak to Dave in the week and see what he says.

Could you wedge then add a grp skin to the back of it so it holds shape when you remove the wedges? Then fill, paint and mold.

Cheers
