Thought about that, Ive got to do a little more glass work on the hatch opening anyway,Might as well do the hatch at the same time.
Heres a drawing of what it sorta looks like from the bottom, {except it has rounded corners}. it has 2 1x 3 braces glassed to the underside but the are faced for to aft , so I think I can cut groves in the bottom {like the dashed lines I put on the diagram}, bend it and then glass it at the proper curve.
