The TROMPIFYING of ZU-AKR Windlass 503

Postby hugow » Wed Aug 24, 2016 12:20 pm

What started out as a proposed seat repair evolved over a very short period in a total reconstruction of ZU-AKR by Gerrit Tromp (GT FLYCOM) , while I had to stand on the side line with coffee and sandwiches. The pictures that follow tells the story of a very successful and satisfying experience and the result is quite pleasing.

Hi Gerrit

The seats looks great. I also need seats to be replaced on my windlass 503.
Can you assist me with this?

What is involved in the replacement process and rough idea on cost?
