bought the material yesterday. no distortion with the pvc when new in the shop. time will tell how they age.
all up should cost around $100 for front and 2 sides when buttoned to the existing bimini and windscreen.
i'm using a Janome machine with a needle rated for leather. just have to put masking tape on both sides of the material so is can glide under the foot and loosen the tension on the sewing machine. needle perforates the tape and it and pulls of easily around the thread.
i made the paper templates up yesterday and transfered them to the pvc today.
no button shops open tomorrow, will have to wait till tuesday for the fitting.
its been one of those jobs thats taken half the time i expected it would.

clears
if you are using them in your line of sight make sure they are optically correct! otherwise the plastic can distort your vision
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!
