1998 Club Car DS seat questions
Hi gang,
I am going to try and get the Club Car fixed up for the tractor shows. I already ordered a Jake's 6" double a-arm lift kit and 12" ITP wheels and 23" tires. I want to pull the body off and paint it as well. Currently it has the standard factory white seat covers with tears in them. I would love to put 2000+ newer one piece seat back on it as well as the hip rails as I think the newer ones look much better. I don't know if this is possible? Also is there anyone that sells oem replacement seat covers? I would like to go with buff color seat covers because I plan on painting the car metallic white or a charcoal gray and I think the buff would look nice with either color. |

Re: 1998 Club Car DS seat questions
If you want to save a bunch of money just go to you local JoAnn Fabrics and get some marine grade vinyl and do the re-cover job yourself. I think I got a yard and a half of material (was about 30 bucks) and it was more than enough to re-do my seats. I have 0 experience doing upholstery and, not to toot my own horn, I managed to get them looking good in a few hours of work.
My original seat had the new style hip restraints but unfortunately somebody decided that they needed it more than I did and stole it. I just got a new seat with the old style hip restraints and seat frame. I like the newer ones better visually but for the cost, I'll keep the old ones. Looking at a few parts sites the new style ones are about 50 bucks a piece, and to get an entirely new seat assembly is going to run anywhere from 150 to 200 bucks. |

the newer seat bottoms are completely different. the rails won't interchange with steel ones. also for us "larger people" the newer seat is like an inch and a half narrower. At times that is a lot of room with 2 big people on the front seat!

I can live with the stock seat bottom. Just need to recover it. I think the biggest thing with the seats that I would like to do is to have the one piece seat back from the newer carts. I am guessing it should be close to bolting right up or I might have to make a adapter bracket? I plan on getting a rear flip seat and was thinking I might be able to get one for a newer cart and the holes might already line up for the one piece seat back?

I bought this rear seat kit and used it for my front seat, I have a CC carryall and it worked out great.
