When i took this seat to a local trimmer a couple of months ago he said that he had just done a couple for a bloke for a helicopter, and that the bloke had a mould for them.

The dash is very similar to the ones fiited to the Australian Broadspeeds - I suspect that they were a readily available item, I have seen them on the Auzzie ebay site before & it's certainly different from the UK GTs.
The seats are I think Corbeau Equipe GT2s

Thanks for the reply guys, all the dashes i have seen have had different holes for instrument, which makes me think that when you bought one new it had no holes.
Back to the seat, i would like to know when these may of been produced.

Thanks Scott

PS: it is not just a stubbie holder, it is a fishing chair. a lot of the worlds problems have been solved sitting in that seat :lol:
