Thanks. Can you get me NOC's phone # or website? I've made two fiberglass seats and I'd like to try a large supportive foam unit for my next one. I wouldn't have to deal with resin stink, and the seat would conform more if somebody other than myself were to fit in it. The "happy bottom" pad and it's ilk are nowhere near as supportive as I'd like.
