Advice on seats for Caroche?
I'm not sure if the seat backs and bottom available for 1976-2000 Club Cars will fit my 1971. Anybody out there have a clue? The seats that are on it are old boat seats or something that were on it when I got it.

Re: Advice on seats for Caroche?
No, I think the bottom may be original but the seat back is just an old boat seat back that came with the cart. I have gone ahead and talked to an upholstery person to re-cover the bottom and make two individual seat backs. One guy wanted $300 to do it. But I bought $20 dollars worth of good white vinyl and another $15 worth of high density foam. I'll cut a couple of boards out of 5/8" plywood and she'll make them for me for about $35 or $40. I still might throw in a little maroon trim or something but just plain white will still pop, I think.

Your paint job is nice Can you explain what you did to achieve this on an old cart? I want to do a red/metalflake job on my cart. Thanks! |

I painted the dash, steering wheel column, and wheels with rattle can primer and paint from Wal-Mart. The steering wheel was $30.00 at O'Reilly Automotive. I replaced every nut, bolt, and screw with nice shiny new ones. I can't wait to get the seats fixed. Last edited by buckfifty98; 07-27-2009 at 08:45 PM.. Reason: added body removal |

Don't worry, Scotty, I'm really proud of the way it's turning out. I've had a lot of fun doing it and can't wait to post a few finished photos.

Re: Advice on seats for Caroche?
The original seat back for the Caroche is a 2 piece back, just like newer DS models. I have a 1980 Caroche and a 1991 DS and they both have the same seat. You can get new seat back and bottom w/new plywood on Ebay for around $100. Check out this link to Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-pc-CLUB-CAR-GO...d=p3286.c0.m14
You will also have to get the seat back Cap like this one on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Club-Car-Golf-Ca...d=p3286.c0.m14 Hope this helps |
