Thys Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Driving along, enjoying the Disco, a sudden snap noise and my view drops by 20mm. Back at the office I confirmed my suspicion, the support mat snapped. This morning I removed the seat and sub frame to see what can be done. 28 cable ties later, and the seat is as firm as new, my 93 kg permitted.

Stevie D Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nice one - a common problem! I think there's somebody selling an aftermarket rubber / plastic replacement now, but it might cost more than it's worth to get it to SA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thys Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 If the cable ties fail I will either replace the mat with a new one/after market one, or rope a mat, or use riempies (ox hide cut into thin strips). Many simply put a board in place of the mat, but that removes some of the flexibility of the seat. I did a short test drive this evening, and the seat really sits well, support is good and no stress on my lower back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
