Short version:
So I decided to recover my seat....and promptly ruined the foam
. I wound up cutting it to fit my body a little better and found some cool memory foam at Walmart. I now have a silver seat, that is slightly more ergonomic and has 3/8 in memory foam. I'll post pics when I find my camera and I'm done clear coating.
Longer version:
So I decided to recover my seat....and promptly ruined the foam . Apparently when you spray on 3m adhesive it sticks very quickly and will pull the foam apart if you try to move something. Lesson learned.
TIP: If you need to pull apart two items that have been put together with 3m adhesive use a hairdryer. I figured this out a bit too late. It's also worth noting that if you leave the old cover on the seat you'll be able to make as many adjustments as you like without ruining the foam.
Anyway with gaping holes in the foam 1/4 inch deep I did something I've thought about doing for some time. I cut the seat to allow a little more from for *ahem* man parts. Why would you bother using a seat that doesn't allow a little room there? That's the equivalent of wearing womens underwear. I recovered the seat and it looked HORRIBLE. Not straight at all, every little bit of texture showed up. So I went to Walmart and got a bed cushion, that is half memory foam and half regular yellow foam rubber. Hit it with the hair dryer and pulled the two apart. I now have a seat that looks stock, silver/gray and it has 3/8 inch of memory foam, and it shaped a little better for my body. I'll post pics when I find my camera and I'm done clear coating.
P.S. I will probably have a lot of extra 4 way stretch fabric: http://autoupholsterysupply.com/alls...rmetallic.html I'll post more when I have my required 50 posts.
