Seat pan cracks

[Lash]

Just received a bare seat pan from fellow member Barry (thanks!) :) and I would like to repair the cracks before I have it recovered. The pan material appears to be nylon. What would be a good repair medium? I was thinking something like JB Weld and come carbon fiber. Any ideas ??

Recommend some good marine grade epoxy and fiberglas or the carbon fiber. Don't forget to rough the surface good first. And, clean with some acetone.

The Pro-Link seat pans are plastic so i wouldn't use JB Weld.
Like Larry said, a marine grade or 2 part epoxy from the auto parts store would be a better idea.

Is this a seat pan for a Prolink ? How do you tell ? If it is, can I use it on a 79 ? I will use marine epoxy and glass.

It's not a Prolink. It's from a 1979.

I agree it is an early seat. Poor communication on my part.
I was just trying to convey not to use JB Weld on plastic.
