While on the subject of seat alteration, I've found that you can use an
electric carving knife to reshape the old foam or make a new foam form
from scratch. Just like carving a turkey.

I've got the MG Classics Solo with the custom passenger seat cut from the stock pan. All the ones I see have a big slope rising to the rear of the seat. If you are short and sit on the front edge, this is fine. If you are taller and sit more to the rear you will need to raise the front and middle, level with the back or you will forever be sliding forward. I raised the front of the seat pan with a piece of thick rubber on the top of the frame and pulled the seat material loose on the bottom and built the foam higher by inserting stiff foam between the seat pan and existing foam. (maybe 3 inches, it compresses trust me) 3M adhesive will reattach the seat material. The result is a very comfortable seat that supports the taller/wider rider very well. The stock 2/up seat lets your "cheeks" hang over the edges of the seat. I spent two hours on it today and was very comfortable. Later, JU |
