Questions About Converting A Liquid Logic Skip

So I went ahead and got the Liquid Logic Skip, and now I need some help converting it. I am about to go take the seat out of it, but I have a few questions.
1. Should I leave the center rail in?
2. Where is the best place (online) to buy things for the conversion (e.g. saddle, straps, foam for a bulkhead, adhesives)?
3. I would like any suggestions on how to convert this kayak because this is my first conversion.

Leave the center rail in... being beefy enough to attach straps to, yet otherwise pretty mugh flat for gluing to, the Liquid Logic centre rail is as close to a perfect base for a c1 as I know of.
It will be beneficial to remove it briefly to drill a hole for a bolt to attach straps.

The center rail is key. Check with Bernie at the Whitewater Warehouse in Dayton, OH. He sells a semi bulkhead outfitting package built for the LL seat rail. All you would have to do is tweak it for your fitting.
I converted a Prion Delirious with his package and love it.
Hope that helps.

What's included in the kit? Is it everything I need to complete my conversion?

the kits include:
saddle,compression block,locking key,,knee blocks,knee pads,thigh straps,anchosr and hardware.
the only thing you may or not need is some foam for a spacer between the saddle and the rear support wall and some foam between the front wall and the compression block.
if you have any more questions PM me and we can talk/call about specifics and setup.

You still have that blue airhead and paddle? I would love to take it off your hands for you.
