Minimal seat pads

[Steve Gibson]

I'm driving with an unpadded jacket now, so wanted to move some minimal padding onto the seats for the long Pyrenees trip in June.

Not a full upholstery job, just something in keeping with the design of the car.

Two motorcycle race seat pads – 10mm, high density foam and with an extremely strong adhesive on the back. £12.50 each.

The original, intended use...

I like that idea.

I like those Steve. Worth using on the bottom too?

[Steve Gibson]

I'm not sure if they'd work on the base. There's a lot more vertical pressure. You'd also have to use a sharp knife to reshape them.

I use a rower's gel pad on the seat, 'cos they're bum-shaped, and waterproof.

I bought a sheet of anti vibration foam stuff for £20. Would probably make about 8 seat pads.

I've got the setup from JK Composites fitted in mine and I'm really happy with them.

They now have a proper template for the Atom and they fit really well. They also keep your bum warmer than no padding!

They are not £20 though

Cheers,
Stu

Cut your own from this:

Roll it up when done

Would these work?

Hi @wasp,
