Mark (smokey mow) Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 You could try your local motorsports place. I know these guys are not far from you and have done a lot of work with fibreglass in the past. https://www.mossmotorsport.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know, the one you've linked to is actually wood covered in DiNoc Fibre wrap (think it was MDF from memory), and a great job he did too. Here's the link. http://markswesty.weebly.com/may-2013.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowy892 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Kenton, What 'items' do you use to keep the removable centre in place. It looks very by the way. Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link. http://markswesty.weebly.com/may-2013.html That does indeed look interesting and a fine job. I made one out of plywood - painted not covered in wrap, I did think of MDF but was a little concerned about it's long term "damp-proof-ness" though I guess you can seal it before covering it. Nice thing about MDF is it's easy to work with and surprisingly light. I finally replaced my plywood one with a complete box / lid from AA Composites on here but I'm not sure he's still making things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Richard Hi Richard. The front of the removable section has a pair of slots in it that slide under an ally collar on the seat belt mount The rear is held down and in place with these Dzus slide fasteners.
