Chip:

Thanks for the response. The pictures are informative. Instead of surrounding the entire cockpit, I had envisioned making the the foam hip braces the same breadth as the CLC supplied cheek plates. Since you say that you'd just do it by the book next time, and Brian brought up storage issues, I am going to rethink this idea. Perhaps the carved seat base with the stock hip braces. Hmmm.

By the way, I have enjoyed your website before (I saw it before I decided to build), and have enjoyed the comments that you have posted on this and the CLC forums.
