You're welcome. However, it doesn't take a large bank account to make a fiberglass seat pan. You can make one prettly cheap and if you're diligent and careful not to make too many mistakes you can have a working seat in a day.

Seat pans aren't all that difficult to make, but have some care with the type of foam you use to shape the cowl, if you use regular styrofoam (which is nice because it is stiff and easy to shape) if you try to lay fiberglass directly on top of it the foam will melt, you can use urethane foam...

Fiberglass - Stronger, Less flexible, easier to work with in regards to paint (sands easily, takes filler well, etc) ABS Plastic - Cheaper (?I think?), must be molded or vacuum pressed so unless you ahve the tooling for that you probably can't do it yourself. More flexible, requires more care...

Tim, thanks for the heads up the original post has been edited.

SONICJK: Do we have a website? That is an excellent question. Unfortunately the answer is no we don't. We are good at what we do but unfortunately what we do is NOT web design. We are a small local business that primarily has catered to automotive/marine fiberglass repair and fabrication, for...
