I really like this idea. If you do decide to make an up-loadable drawing, could you please let me (personally that is, if it's not a big trouble) and all of us know where it is so we could do the same for our Spyders?
Thanks.

FANTASTIC idea. Looks like another winter farkel for me and a cheap one to boot. I do believe I can tunnel through the plastic and then seal it afterwards. I love this idea and already have the chair. Thanks for the idea my friend.

and i am making a drawing to scale that i think anyone can use
I scored a couple of armrests from a chair at work that broke, even though it was fairly new.
I'd be very interested in the drawing of your plate. I sent a PM.
Thanks in advance for your help.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.
