Ready to cut a block of blue foam to length for the seat base inserts. The proposed outlines, based on measurements of the seat pans, are drawn on the top face of the foam block.

The block of blue foam cut to length for the seat base inserts. The proposed outlines, based on my initial measurements of the seat pans, are drawn on the top face of the foam block - but before starting to cut, I decided to make them slightly thicker to use the full thickness of the block.

4 pieces of blue foam cut to size for the bases of the seats. The top one was cut from a wedge-shape piece and will be used for the starboard outer seat hollow where it will need to be tapered anyway. The marks on the other 3 pieces show the slightly thinner section originally proposed. The offcut at the front is to be used in making a mould for the battery box.

Blue foam cut to form a male mould for the battery box. Here the bow of the hot-wire cutter has been tilted to cut the chamfers on the ends of the mould, to match the taper on the bottom of the battery.
