I got this schweet Schwinn Phantom Scrambler F.O.R.D....
And so I ride it to work the other day...And the seat feels like I'm sittin' on the bare pan!!
So I do a little investigation:
Check out this "luxury" seat pad!
Now THAT'S "paper thin"! But to be fair it is 27 years old! So here's how I saves my 'hinder:
I used one of those camping sleeping bag pads (I already had it in the garage for working on the car...) And cut off what I needed:
Then I traced the pattern from the old pad and cut 'er out:
I found that the seat pan was bent, and a small crack:
That's better:
Mock-up:
Finally, stuff the new pad in and put 'er on!
Lotsa cush f' da' tush!! Schweet... :mrgreen:
