Looking at those clamps, you must do sheet metal work for a profession, those are NICE.

I think I just found the way to beef mine up.

Hi Guys,
Hmmm..... you've got me thinking now, We have a Mk IV and it may be worth installing this magic piece of wood under the seat. Does anyone have photos of their install under an older style seat?
Thanks
Jono
John, I can really tell from this post and others before that you are building a quality Kitfox. You have put a lot of thought into many aspects of the process. Can't wait to see the finished product . Keep up the nice workmanship. Bruce N199CL

My seat pan is cracked and I have the added experience of my former Kitfox seat pan breaking in flight so, I'm going to reinforce this current one however, I do not have experience with Carbon/Kevlar and am wondering if this would be a good product for reinforcing. I also don't know how many layers of this fabric I would need to use.

I've been reading up on it and will likely use a West Systems Epoxy resin. I planned to put reinforcements across the lip in the front and the lip at the shoulders as well as along each side (this is were the current one is cracked). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully Jeff sees this, (jmodguy), he has done alot of this kind of thing lately.
