does anyone know where i can get hold of (borrow) a class 5 hi sided given mould to produce a hi sided given seat anywhere here in adelaide 
i have a class 5 given now but would like the sides to be a bit higher as i'm a larger type person and find the small sided 1 a bit to small, if that makes any sence

yes there was i saw it sunday while out sailing at pt gawler but i didn't get a chance to ask the guy where he got it from and it was a moulded seat with no add ons, and it was a given as i have one and it was exactly the same except for being hi sided.
fraid' youll need to find ut from the owner. there were some interestng seats made by martin bell around 92 and then the PM seats in 93 but not much since then. If you could fit in it easily the its probably a MB seat
Could some kind person put up some pics of a Given 5 for us to look at?
Never seen one of those have seen a Given sand tiger though
Cheers

like this. these are Faze 5 givens. a given seat on the much nicer chassis of a bill Finch faze 5.
Personally I found the seats were blooming uncomfortable as the didnt take into account the shape of a human. everybody needed some kid of fancy cushion . they were shocking on the clay at Ivanpah
Just be aware that some people don't take kindly to their work being "ripped off" so to speak, the person who made the original seat may have spent lots of $$$ and more than 100+ hrs on the plug, the mould and then the first seat, ask them first and give them credit for the work they have done.
Infact it's common place in some industries to put a lot of effort to try and stop others copying an idea or product. (like grinding part numbers off, adding hidden security codes etc.)
I remember my grandma sometimes missed out the odd ingredient 
when someone wanted a copy of her special recipes
at this stage beachball is still trying to work out who's th seat is that hes trying to make ..thats a good start
the only NZ chassis I saw was in 86 and was all in square ally . tad chunky
what did he eventually settle on for the chassis?
yup, the T6 scaff tube, and to think we didnt need all those braces an brackets after all
Now here's a good chair, " The Tinny Captains Chair "
Will fit any X truckys Dairy Aire 44,000lb rear end, fits mine
can be got 2nd hand at recycler's
one will never fall out of this, real strong, personal fitted.
doesn't matter i have found the seat i was looking for and now it's fitted and ready to go
