I am also in the process of building a Hurricane cockpit and thought I'd post a few pics of my home built Hurricane bucket seat,it's all made out of wood,so no armour plate on this version,lol,it's still not finished but I hope to get it completed soon.
I still have to mount it on a solid structure to take my weight,but I also want to be able to adjust the angle of the seat when sitting in it and this will be the headache,there is also a beeding to add around the edges of the sides.
Being made of wood it has it's limitations,I initially wanted to be able to put a bend vertically through the seat back as like the real thing,but this just was'nt possible,well not with my skills anyway.
The bottom pic is the original of course,hehe not my effort.
