Resin Seat infill, PU Foam
Hi Guys
Looking at doing this in the global race car. It has a large kart seat in it at the mo which is too big and i was thinking of doing this type of resin
seat infill which is removable so others can also drive the car just removing the infill..
Has anyone else tried/done this?
Is it easy? Where is good to get the bits? I see Demon tweaks do a little kit, also found websites like:

Can't help on the will it work/have you tried it before front but looking at the Ebay 2 Part foam it does look very much like
>This stuff<, just more expensive 
Edit: P.S. - Are you still selling wiring loom kits, have you a pricelist etc.?

Any fibreglass stockist stocks 2-part foam.

We used this process on the F1 cars, as they had no seat at all. What we did was pour two part foam into a black plastic bag, spread it over the
seating area and get the driver to sit in it till it had hardened, (wear thick trousers as it does get a bit warm) . Then strip of the plastic sack,
clean up the resulting foam pad, them just apply a layer of GRP and the lightest weave cloth we could get. Makes a perfect figure hugging seat, fairly
cheaply. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
