I have 4 women in the house, so I can liberate some and never be suspected! I want to make some more like my 310-8 has. They are diamond plate aluminum and have held up great for 15 years. But I no longer have access to commercial shear and brake equipment, so it might end up being something far simpler. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry I missed this earlier- the company is called Seat King, and they are made in Kansas. They are pricey, but not insanely so. The company makes custom seats too. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can say this: the seat is very comfortable, and has great support. Not a squish flat seat at all. I got mine off of fleabay for $40, so I can't verify longevity. But so far I am impressed. Mine had yellow stitching, but I fixed that with a black sharpie and wiped off the excess with a baby wipe. Edited November 27, 2021 by kpinnc 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,062 #158 Posted December 5, 2021 Had this one out today moving some stuff around after getting the Charger back home. Grabbed a few pics to "re-motivate" myself. This one is so close to being complete. Of course with Christmas right around the corner, Santa Clause duties will get most of my free time, but I hope to have a test drive soon! 2 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,062 #167 Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I think I found a better footrest than funky grip tape. I forgot I had this stuff, and it needs cleaning up. But this is what I'm starting with. Edited December 17, 2021 by kpinnc 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My FIL worked for Ryder trucking for 35 years, and he gave me those panels. He was always bringing stuff home like that. I'll check that 303 stuff out!

kpinnc 12,062 #174 Posted December 17, 2021 Me too pete! My wife always complained about me bringing stuff home. She tended to stop when she saw what I did with it later! And you're right- now I miss having access to the stuff we just threw away so often! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming you'll use this instead of the existing footrest, I'd think it's got possibilities. Used atop the existing footrest, I'd be very concerned that it would trap dirt and moisture and be next to impossible to keep clean. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
