Re: Api di Ken
Nice looking seat and seat back.
I forgot where I found it, but I did get the original style paper tubing for the heater duct. (Thinking maybe it was a VW heater hose)

Re: Api di Ken
Seat is too high for me, my eyes are above the top of the windshield. If I'm going to drive it I'll need another seat made up with perhaps only 1" of foam or drive hunched over - Ken

Re: Api di Ken
I have the same problem in my Ape, it was made for a shorter Italian than me.
I have been looking around for the gel that is used for motorcycle seats, and that is what I would use instead
of just foam, which will degrade in short time.

Re: Api di Ken

Re: Api di Ken
That's my plan as well.
I have been looking around for that gel, it's sold in yards or in seat sizes for motorcycles. My friend
when he made seats had it, and it was the neatest stuff to play with at his shop. I used to sell prospective
customers on it when they would visit his booth at the motorcycle show.

Re: Api di Ken
Yes, that is pretty much what he had, only yellow. He had a big piece and he would cut the shapes out as needed.
It honestly felt like old elephant skin or something just as gross, but in a seat it was like heaven. I haven't gotten to the point of searching for a piece long enough for the whole bench as of yet, I have to work on mine to get her running.
Did some more searching and found this larger size:

Re: Api di Ken
That size would be great. Any smaller and divide it in three - center piece large enough to cover the butt and the outer edge pieces to fill in the area required. - Ken
