I took a bunch of pictures when I was at Corbin that covered how they manufactured both their seats and body accessories. I finally have a little spare time to go through how the entire process works, so today I'll start at the beginning.
For each Corbin seat, a prototype is developed and refined until Mike Corbin is happy with every aspects of the seat. The primary items of concern are comfort and style. Numerous iterations of prototypes are made until Mike signs off and a go is given to make the seat bases mold.
This is what the seat base mold looks like for the Spyder.
The mold is a two piece "Clam Shell" mold which includes locations that all the attachment hardware are installed, and then hand laid fiberglass is placed in the mold to form the seat base.
