Sorry I have been away for a few weeks.
Grumpy, I made a new pattern mainly because the stock one has a few extra panels in it to help bend the contours. The two up seats are quite a bear to wrap to the pan, but a few relief cuts and contact cement and you can get through it. I wanted to say you do some great work too. I am also a member on club chopper and have seen your work there.
Ben, the stingray is stitched in some of the creases of the skull tooling. I was not comfortable with contact cement holding the stingray in place so the stiches are more for my piece of mind. The seat has been on for about 5 months now and he has not had any complaints about catching in the inlay areas.
