I have a 3rd seat, the others were restored original, but as most of you know, the originals don't provide very much lateral support and vinyl isn't comfy on hot sweaty days.
I am going to build up the sides about 1" and recover my spare seat. Has anyone tried this with neoprene? The side bolsters should be nice and flexible and it might be comfy to sit on at first but I'm not so sure about long term. What do you all think? |

Neoprene = think wet suit material. Like for swimming.
There is a company called Wet Okoli in Hawaii and Costa Mesa Ca, (my town) That makes custom neoprene covers for ANY seat. And in any color. Or combination of colors. Many of the surfers around here have em cause you can get in your car wet when ya take a long lunch and get some surfing in..... They seem to last about 3 years in a daily use Pick Up truck (my old one) They never get really hot. Unless ya get black and leave them in direct sun.. even then. They cool off VERY quickly. They can be made as a seat cover (typical) or can be made as a complete covering. If ya want any more data. PM me.. I have met the owner several times. I think I can probably get a better price than retail. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Twystd1 |
