i need some kind of padding
got bog standard grp seats in my indy which are fine apart from 3 things.....
1. on hard acceleration my dad keeps moaning about the cracking noise of his helmet smacking in to the seat.
2. now it's cooled a bit outside at speed the back of the seat seems to become really cold!
3. gives slight arse ache after a while!
so basicly i'm after some kind of foam padding type stuff! i remember reading a while back about ppl using camping matts for it but i can only
find camping mats in a nasty blue or green colour. black or grey would be perfect but just can't find any 
anyone know of anything easy to get hold of that will do the job?

I think john, theconrodkid, found some pads that look as though they're made for the job in Argos I believe. Try him maybe?

I have made some inserts in grp that fit the MK seats they need to be padded/trimmed etc but easy to take out ....better than glueing something to
your seat.
U2U or email and i can send some pictures
My Daughter has taken over production of the damn fine Triton race seats and her contact email is emmatrs@live.co.uk.

Didnt Cairb make some a while ago, for his indy? I think they were vinyl with some foam inside. Sounds like they did the business and didnt cost a
lot. I think he used velco to attatch them so that he could remove them easily.

mark, thanks for the pics but not quite what i'm after. all i want it some kind of foam camping mat style stuff just to stop the annoying
knocking noise of helmet hitting seat and just to take the harsh edge of the chill of the seats.
i've seen a car at a show with exactly what i'm after but can't remember who or where etc!!

Camping mat is the usual thing used, easy to cut and petty comfortable, from any camping shop.
try this
Cheers

Just stick a carpet square to the back of your helmet that'll stop it bumping, and get some thicker trousers with cycling shorts underneath.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I have this stuff in my wheelchair and it's a lifesaver.
Any medical or disability supply shop will have a selection of memory foam cushions and pads.
Another link.
I used to put Confor foam in my race seat.
