So far I have twice failed to visualize the right pattern and am wasting good vinyl. Does anybody have a flat pattern they can take a picture of that might help me? I just downloaded a pattern off the Matronics archives that could work, but it is for the HD center console which has a different outline. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, ready to fly.

Where did you get the boxes? There has been no size or location testing but I've been planning on mounting a couple of these from Cabelas. http://tinyurl.com/5p5kc7 -------- W.R.

It seemed that with my seat cushion arrangement, that there was a blank spot between my elbow and the seal back channel where a bottle of water could sit. After I am flying, I will test fly the box and possibly refine the dimensions and either keep or scuttle the drink holder. By the way, the family has been put on strict notice that bottles of water will the only drinks ever allowed in the airplane. Good luck, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, ready to fly.

Once I got a configuration that worked, I used it as a pattern to cut out the leather for the final part. I basically made a rectangular pyramid with the base the same size as the stick opening. The left and right sides are equilateral triangles. I left tabs of material at the bottom for attaching the boot. I split the pyramid down the center of the front side leaving extra material to allow for a hem. I punched holes on each side of the seam up the front center for leather lacing. I also rolled down the material at the top around the stick to give a smooth edge. Here's a rough sketch of what I started with. I don't recall the exact dimensions I ended up with.
