Making knee braces

First make a mould that matches your cockpit

Find a suitable plastic container, free if possible

I get my drums from the tannery

 Cut out the smooth sides

Place on oven tray, 
Use oven paper if you don't want it to stick

Place in oven at about 140deg for about 15 min
 

Welding gloves are a must at this stage

Remove when plastic is soft all over

Put on flat surface, the kitchen table did fine

And fold over mould

Making sure the two surfaces weld together

When cold take off mould

Check the joint

Trim off excess and rough shape.

Give a sand

 

Any minor shaping can be done with the old paint stripper

Before fitting check position against the knees

Looks good

Now what to do with all the experiments.
