Hi Russ, I used Dan's skins on my KR2 some years ago and was fortunate in having met Dan at a gathering. I think I was the first to use them in the UK ,and had no problems except that the rib cut out markings didn't correspond somehow . I contacted Dan and he reassured me that my markings were not accurate ( it was in the '90's and I've forgotten how exactly-but I'll look up my notes if you can't get better advice). One thing I do remember is how fast vinylester goes off , so you have to get a reliable pal and rehearse the procedure. I also had to open inspection panels in the lower skins to satisfy our inspection authorities who would reinvent the wheel if it hadn't been made in Birmingham!
