Seat padding?

I've currently got MK grp seats that I have padded with Velcro fixings and a contoured camping mat. However I want something a little harder wearing like the MK seat pads but just wandered if any one knew of any wear that do leather / vinyl covered ones for less than £150?

Speak with Mike Longstaff at roadrunner racing. He is selling a set of pads that will fit your seats which are really good quality but within your budget.

Me too

I'd be interested in seeing what people come up with, I was going todo 40mm racing bike foam and spray adhesive but its expensive...

The bare plastic hurts like #### over bumps.

Theres some piccies of mine in this months CKC mag (Yellow Roadrunner Sr2) I had them made to fit but they would suit any GRP bucket seat. Mike can do just the plain ones or the carbon effect + logo, but not sure what he charges but should be pretty cheap in comparison to others, but really good quality. The guy that makes them does interior trim for Nobles...

can do sets of these for £100

will get better pics later in the week, can be made with whatever stitching and colour you want really

they velcro on there are a fair amount of points to attatch to make they a little more flexible for other seat shapes







fitted in my car

Any chance of losing the hole and changing the quilted effect to horizontal ribs?

I would be interested in the quilted covers.

What kind of padding is in there?

I bought some material like that from my secretary for the grand sum of about 3 pounds in your money. I look forward to trimming them up and fitting them on my fibreglass seats. Passengers complain... It has to be something relatively easy to do.

Sod the passgengers! I use a pillow but it's more to raise me up while I have time to adjust the seat mounts rather than comfort.

I would be very interested in a set, the horizontal lines but keeping the seat pan hole.

Could you quote? I've got tillers racing seats if that makes any difference to style etc?
