Default Broken Pedestal Chair

The fiberglass shell on the passenger chair on my 202Z is cracking. I am assuming that it would be difficult to purchase an intact shell therefore my thinking is to fashion some angle iron for structural rigidity. I believe I could use the existing screws which attach the shell to the seat so it doesn't show. Does anyone have an better solution?

    Well, i would remove the cushions & take the shell into a autobody shop that does fibreglass repairs. They should be able to complete a near invisible repair & maybe even strengthen the shell up a little bit.
