ISO: Manco Seat Pad

[mindymogul]

Looking for this exact style pad or cover. This one's starting to get a bit crumbly and I love this style. Haven't been able to find anything in the area or on Ebay. Hopefully there's Manco hoarder out there somewhere that can help me out. Mainly looking for the vinyl cover but will accept seat w/o frame. N.E. USA

While it still is in somewhat decent condition;
take some packing paper and trace a template for it;
take measurements on detailed photos, and measure the thickness of your foam padding.

If bad comes to worse you'll need to make your own.
(it's not that difficult, it's a matter of patience and a decent sewing machine really)
it's almost more difficult to find the correct vinyl and foam if you want to stick with the exact same material.
In case the ridges are hot stamped, you can replicate that as well
(with a temperature settable soldering iron )

In any case, as long as the seat and mostly it's cover is in decent condition it's best to make the pattern now before it crumbles away.

Mindy, PM Grant (Kartfab) and ask him about making you a replacement. He can do it.

It's a full stamped vinyl cover. I'd make my own but I really don't wanna spend over $50 for materials. 3yd of Vinyl is $21.99 and foam core is over $20 for a single 12x18x4" pad. $15 for a 12x12x2". So I'd rather have something original to the model.

Sometimes making stuff just works out more expensive
