I sold my nos kashi 5gold suede seat, coz i wanted a crack at making my own.
So with the 5gold money banked i bought a rough Kashi MX seat for Â£2.
Bought a suede handbag off ecrotch for Â£2, carpet fitters glue Â£2.70 and Â£3 for the decals.

Stick a seatpost on and clamp in a vice.

Take your packaging foam, spray with glue..spray top of seat and press together.

Stretch over...

and trim

Same process with the suede..

Another view.

Decals added to finish.

You know what they say chubs.. small hands smallll, err

anyway i'd give it a 7/10, it needs tweaking a little bit..
but the good thing with the glue is you can pull it back and then re-do it.

should be a solid 8/10 before it goes on

Good effort. Keep us posted with the tweaks. I'm all for restoration rather than buying NOS off the shelf

looking good lee, getting that suede tight looks difficult. got more foam if you want it

bof · « **Reply #12 on:** May 24, 2008, 12:23 PM »

Whens it going on ebay then Lee

I'm about to do this with a kashi aero - do you really need the foam though? looks to me like it loses too much of its shape when applied. I was going to filler the two holes quick and apply the suede direct.

Also - how permanent is that adhesive? sticky enough?

scary_leary · « **Reply #14 on:** May 24, 2008, 05:59 PM »

Yeah it needs the foam as the originals use it.

lazychubs · « **Reply #15 on:** May 24, 2008, 06:31 PM »

mm sober now but still not sure looks a ta wrinkly lol
can you not steam it like on american hot rod do lol

Gary72 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2008, 08:29 PM »

Get my wife to wash it, that will shrink the wrinkles out

scary_leary · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:53 PM »
