My cockpit bolsters will require re covering in the near future and i would like to use the original material Grady uses.

Is it available? If so where and is the GW indented stuff available for the transom?

Thanks

If you mean the pleated material, here is a vendor. The Chalk is the Grady color I believe.

HI
Give me a call, Paul Marsh at NQ trimming got the right stuff out of Brisbane for me and used a heat machine to duplicate the lines in my seat base which he replaced. The material is quite expensive so if you can find a USA sorce and pricing may be worthwhile.

The bolsters come from WISE Mfg in Tenn. Not sure if they will sell direct. You can do this job yourself it you get the right foam and cover. Use either a PT or plastic backer and staple the foam and cover with stainless staples. On older boats they are thru bolted to the boat, on newer ones there are clips and a couple screws.
