Each to their own? Also known as, you're wrong, I'm right! What's the word? Not omnipresence, but it's the closest I can think of.

I don't mind the Sprint, especially for rally sprints. Maybe it was your happy hands and frantic driving style throwing me around for two days of codriving that made me not like them. Or maybe it's my huge beer belly, ostioish bones, and ethiopian muscle content that makes my bones more sensitive to the metal tubes.

Well at any rate, I think I'll try and repad the thing. I have a rafting supply company in town where I can get scrap foam from their lifejacket operation.

Well found some time to finish the seat, took the cover completely off to find this:


Foam split, ugly.

Replaced with "pipe insulation" from Ace Hardware. Which by the way seems to be the perfect replacement, it was the exact dimensions of the Sparco foam.



Voila. Seat is now sit-able again. Cost to repair- $6.

Nice job, maybe a career change is in order? Start a seat refrub company. Sell kits online for $50 !

Did you throw the old foam out?

I'd be be curious to see a comparison between the two when lit on fire. The foam, I mean, not me.

Well, they both seemed fairly self extinguishing, however, the sparco foam seemed to shrivel up more and then ignite, whereas the pipe insulation shriveled a bit then ignited. Either way, they both seem to not KEEP BURNING.

Welcome to the cult of JVL drink the koolaid or be banned.

If it gets to the point that fire gets to the foam on a seat frame do you think any will live to discuss it??
