Foam padding
neilj37 - 17/7/07 at 01:28 PM

Took the girlfriend out for the first time the other day and she complained about bumping her head on the GRP seats and her bum hurt. Does anyone know where I can get some high density foam from to make some foam padding for her seat

sit her on a black bin liner as you fill it up with "no more gaps". it'll expand to the exact size and shape of her derrier

That could be a recipe for trouble - what if she takes a dislike to the imprint you'll wish you never started it.

Try http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/ for foam padding and vinyl covering materials.

LOL!!!! It's true the imprints are usually functional rather than pretty!!!

Thin foam can be bought as camping mat, even thinner foam that is water and rot proof is sold by B&Q to insulate laminate flooring, both cheap solutions and good for interior padding. I am using the B&Q stuff for interior panels and the camping mat for seat backs.

Jeez!
-Your sexlife is your business but may I suggest next time taking along a nice thick tartan rug and actually getting out the car? Oh...and either use a good water based lubricant or improve your aim!!!

Garden centres sell foam kneeling mats.

With a bit of wriggling you should find the most comfortable spot.

Is a new girlfreind an option.

I bought some 8mm closed cell foam from stoneliegh in black, works a treat.

bah, tell her to stop whinging, or get her own foam

Oakesy will make you some pads at a price that makes it not worth doing them yourself.

aoakesy@aol.com.

I have full set of seat pads and tunnel cover and it is fantastic. I did a post about 2 or 3 weeks back.
