Seats too big:(

Just brought another Mk indy, but the seat is to wide and too low for me
Is there a foam insert avalible that will fit in the bucket seat like they have for go-karts?

Surely a replacement narrow seat is an easy thing to fit?

Keep the fat one for when you sell it.

Swipe some of those chesterfield pillows from the living room and you're off to the races. This has to be a first. I've never heard of anybody complaining of a 7 being too big! Congratulations!

It is quite different when you wear thicker clothing as well. My seats fit well in summer, but in the autumn, when I need a coat, it's a bit tight, and not that pleasant. So the reverse is true too then.

A couple of litres of 2-pack foam, a (good quality) bin bag and (ideally, but not an absolute requirement) a helper.

Tape seat-side of bag to seat, add foam, sit in seat. Feel nice and warm as it all expands and sets, ideally you're wearing a respirator, or are at least outside in moving air. Wearing a Tyvek (or similar) suit can be a good idea too. Extract yourself from seat, possibly difficult (!), trim foam.

As above, do a foam insert inside your seat, or scrap the seat completely.
