Seats

Have you entered for rockinhgham 3rd & 4th april?
Making seats is never an easy job & the 1st few often go in the bin. We normally use about 1 - 1.5 litres of mixed twin pack foam. It can help to slip some card down the inside of the cockpit, this stops the seat swelling into the chassis tubes & make it easier to get out. I would'nt reckomend wearing your best overalls for this job because you can get in one hell of a mess. Have an assistant with you to keep the top of the bag sealed to stop the foam escaping. I'm not claiming to be an expert on this subject but have made a couple of seats without total disaster. Good luck!
Hope to see you at Rockingham
