Avon grp seat for 2.8m RIB

Hello, I’ve recently acquired a little 2.8 as a winter refurb project, it’s missing the seat moulding that sits between the tubes, anyone have a spare or know where I can source an original? Thanks :)

Hypalon Bag (ideally Avon original)

Hello, I'm looking for a hypalon storage bag for my Searider - ideally the oem version that clips to the handholds on the tubes. Cash waiting, thanks! Rupert

Hi Paul, have you had a look at the parts manual for your outboard and traced where the missing tube should lead from the telltale port to see if it has indeed been blocked off at the other end?

Awesome transformation!! :cool:
