Might have been me?

I certainly made at least one, or maybe a set, and have a mould I made - it was for a 1 1/4", I think. I even bought some more wood blanks to turn a plug to pull a mould for 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" and someone gave me copies of all the various flange drawings to cut the formers for the mounting flanges.

Don't think I ever offered them for sale, but maybe I did.

it'll all still be kicking about in the garage somewhere, I'll have a look.

So many projects......... :?

edit : oh, and the ones I did were to David Vizards design, not ST, and had the full radius on the outer edge. I think the one/s I made were in black gelcoat. i'm sure I posted a pic on one of the old forums. Are these the ones you are thinking of?
