Here you go guys. Just trimmed the seat and foam to fit new tank.

Glsawyer 30 Mar 2019 23:35

Getting ready to order new vinly and foam to reduce the seat myself

turboguzzi 31 Mar 2019 08:19

neat
seat top looks kind of rough
to reshape it use a normal metal grinding disc on an angle grinder
works a treat, just be careful to secure the foam to something solid
i usually upholster my seats with a piece of vinyl that i buy by the yard.
i cut a rough shape and attach it to the base with clothespins, leave under sun, it will preshape the vinyl nicely
then get a staple gun to attach the vinyl to the plastic base.
dont know your MY, if its a metal base it's trickier, youll have to use contact glue

86. Plastic base. I'll reshape for the gel pad. Then I am going g to use slip stop vinly. I'll be using stainless staples also
