Could you use the rusty seat pan as a pattern to make a fibreglass one or to get one vac formed.

Oh really?  That actually makes me feel a little better that my 550 is "typically aged" and hasn't stood in a field for years :)

DSS did sell repro seats from bob some years back. Not sure if they stopped making them or not.

I managed to reclaim my 550k3 seat pan by braze welding individually hammered shaped patches to the foam side of the seat pan. It had liteally fallen in half from corrosion. Time consuming but I enjoyed the process of reclaiming the un saveable.
