Hello all

Were do you get that thin black sponge type padding for the GRP seats
I think its about 10 mill thick,Black in colour and i have seen it cut in allsorts of shapes and bonded onto the seats.

I recently saw it in a pic somewere and it looked like a skeleton spine.

Thanks

Camping roll mats. Just need to find black ones, they tend to be wild colours!

i used burger king for my seat padding, you need to go once aday for 3 months to get the padding thick enough.

linky

These are relatively cheap.

Closed cell foam. Campig mats are a good choice or maybe someone like woolies might do it

Paul fisher bought some pre - made ones for his recent MK Indy R. You could ask him GRP seats.

You could ask him

Think you're remembering the pads team Hellfire made.

The 'proper' stuff is neoprene (used in wetsuits) but camping mat is the cheap and cheerful alternative.

i want one just for my headrest, only for when tracking the car and wearing a lid; dont want it banging against the seat.

What'd be the best route?

Cheapest would be a good thick mousemat.

Can get them with your own design printed as well

Otherwise a cheap wetsuit (lidl had some a while back) would yield some suitable material.
