- What is the backer material made of? Mine were plastic (starboard maybe) 3/8" thick.
- Where can I buy the SS 'bolts' that go through bolster and into boat. Std. 1/4 20 screws the proper length. The "nuts" were ~ 1/16" thick SS threaded 1/4-20 ~ 5/8" square with the corners bent so to bite when tightened.
- Where did you buy the the padded material ?
- To do the bolsters, do you actually need to use a sewing machine ? If you want an inserted color you will need to sew it. I did not.

I used ~ 6 yds. of pleated Capitano in chrystal white from Garys. I bought two (24 x 72) ea. of 1/2" and 1" closed cell xfirm #6130 and glued them together then cut to size. Fabric, foam, 25 yds. piping and monel staples ~ $400 and 10-12 hrs. time.
