[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 481440, member: 13702"] I had to add aluminum flanges to the decking surface to have something mount the console to, they run up the inside face of the vertical side surfaces of the console so you don't see them in the pictures. If you're going to go trying to fabricate something try window screening as a forming material - a bit more rigid than trying to stretch cloth, applying fiberglass to it is easy, you just need to get the gel style resin rather than the more liquid stuff. I've got a perfectly good form in the plastic console that's there already, so I'll just scuff that thing up so the resin has plenty of surface area to bond to and cover the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
