High Density Foam

[Guest]

I would like to add 4" of high density foam to my 2004 RX1 seat but I am having trouble finding it. I know that some of you guys have done this.If you could give me a web site,It would be a big help.I am located in newfoundland & some things aren't at my finger tips.




Thanks in advance!!!

I think guys have gone to JoAnne fabric to get this stuff...

I've seen it at craft/fabirc stores (AC Moore, Michael's, JoAnn). If you're got one of those around, check there. If not, look up a local upholstery shop, they may be able to either sell you some or tell you where to order it.

I'm pretty sure DennisKirk sells it as part of a seat kit.

I got mine from JoAnn Fabrics here in New Hampshire, USA. I don't see it on the website but there should be some type of fabric store near you.

Here is how I did mine, best mod ever!

Here's mine with 2" of high density blue foam added. An electric knife to shape it and an air stapler and it's quite easy.

What length staples did you use to reattach your seat cover?? I have tried 1/4" long staples in my electric stapler. They don't get driven in deep enough. Was anyone able to find stainless steel staples?? I am getting ready to do this mod.. Thanks!!

1/4 is what you use, you dont need stainless, most staples are zink coated and will last well past when you will own the sled.
if you stapler wont drive them, use a hammer to finish the job.

for glue to attach the foam, use Stayput. available at any good hardware store.

to cut foam, use a suraded knife or even better, an electric bread knife.
