rear seat

[Dude1021]

I bought a 1986 power slot and the guy I bought it from
eliminated the back seat. I am in search of a back seat for replacement
or blue prints of an original rear seat, so I can build one. If any one has any suggestions please let me know or I will buy one that someone
has and doesn't use! Please help...... :headbang: You can email me
at mark@a2zengines.com I sell auto and marine engines so I will hook
you up if you if you hook me up thanx.......Mark

You can also have my backseat which is sitting in my basement unused and all I want in trade is a fresh 351/285 hp marinized PMC engine. I will accept the GT40 also.

If you don't want to make that trade, I can take some pictures and measurements, cant be all that tough to make from scratch.

[Dude1021]

Yeah dude hook me up with some pics and measurements! How about a 2003 lightning
5.4 wiring harness ecm and all, think we can get that to bolt up to a velvet drive?

[Dude1021]

Sorry dude I don't do Hemi's But I will buy it from you. Just sitting in the basement
collecting dust? And I can get a hemi for ya what year?

If you are a wakeboarder you could use a fat seat.

If you are a wakeboarder you could use a fat seat.
Couldn't you just fill it up with air, or maybe just enough water to weigh it down and keep it from flying out???

where do you find the foam and vinyl to build it yourself?

[east tx skier]

You can get foam at Hancock fabrics or similar store. Ordering the vinyl from MC would be the easiest way to get the exact fit.

You may have figured this out already but, if not, here is a picture of the back seat that I built from scratch this spring. It wasn't too hard to build. If I were doing it again I would make the back slightly longer and have a little less storage space under the seat. I also used 2" foam on the seat and would use 3" if I did it again.

If you are interested I can take some pictures of it so you can see how it is constructed.

I would contact your local upholstery supply and then look at the different foams available (different weight ratings such as 44# 80# 120#. In Atlanta, B&A supply on Marjan Drive has a wide variety. While re-doing the interior of my Tristar, I'm changing to the 120# for the seat bases to raise the driver as well as provide more cushion for bumps. Foam's not cheap though, it nearly doubled in price in the past year due to the cost of oil. For a 2x24x80 piece, I paid $45 2-3 months ago whereas I'd paid in the $20's last summer for a similar piece. Also, as funny as it may seem, the foam is difficult to cut so that it won't show the uneven lines once you get the vynil over it. Through asking lots of questions, I've found that an electric filet knife works great for straight cuts and general shaping and then for the curved areas, make the initial cuts with the filet knife and then use a belt sander with a coarse belt to actually shape the foam. Works very well.....
