View Full Version : Interior upgrading-new side pockets
Looking to replace my cockpit 2 side pockets, for my Ventus.
Any idea where to get it done in the US ? Also, best method to attach it to the side walls.

Im my ventus B, I used some grey with black speckles some what stretchy fabric that the hook part of velcro would stick to. I cut templates out of kraft paper to cut fabric right the first time. Then I glued it to the inside fuselage with "Gunk" auto headliner adhesive then made pockets with same material and sewed velcro hook to the entire back of the pocket. It really worked well as I could position the pocket any where and move it if needed.
CH ASW27 now

I went to a local leather shop with paper templates for the side pockets.

I have found zippered pouches (like bank deposit pouches) or other containers at outdoor equipment suppliers that work well. Attachment can be with snaps, screws, Velcro or other methods, depending on your cockpit sidewall layout.

Large pencil cases work well too.
