There can be extra sticking out. The padding that makes up the seat does a very nice job of covering that up and you won't feel them.

Yeah that pad is not like a typical couch seat foam. It's more dense. I'm having trouble finding a way to purchase a replacement foam. Do you know of anywhere I can buy that because I have one more cart to build.

Sir Nuke, I sent you a PM.

Use an electric carving knife like the kind you use for Thanksgiving turkey. Cuts like butter!

Thanks for the tip. I'll pull out the electric fisherman and try that out.

Sure seems like it would be a whole lot easier just to buy a new seat. That's what I did.

Sir Nuke · 08-23-2017, 11:28 AM
