What kind of rear seat did you install?

What a great build!

I would appreciate if you could list the equipment installed. It is always great to know what really works with each other. I am a newbie and it would help me understand when I can look up your parts and see what they do and how they work. For example what PB did you use, which buss bar, which fender flare?
Thanks so much!

Redryder,
The rear seat is a flip seat. It came with the cart. I don't know the model #. As you can see I modified the step plate to fit my receivers. I eliminated the flip part because of weight. The seat bottom attaches with two bolts so I can switch to my aluminum bed in 5 minutes. The best I can do is try and match a model # by pics and what will fit an 88 marathon. Give me a few days.

EZ-93,
I will be happy to list the parts and numbers I used. I need a day or two to sit down with my old receip[ts.

These are the components I used to upgrade:

48 HD Solenoid
quick disconnect ball joints and rod
appropriate diodes and resistors
4 gauge cables
pot box for 89-94 marathon
700 A 0-5k alltrax controller
D394 "The Beast" motor
Lester high frequency industrial battery charger
trailer 4leaf springs for rear(very stiff)
JCAC -400 reversing contactor (eliminated ome f&r switch)
club car f&r rocker switch and housing (cheaper than ezgo)
I used ome mud flaps for the rear and attached two to the front
Datel digital led meter
As far as the rear seat, I googled "ezgo flip rear seat" and the best match seems to be here http://www.cartstuffdepot.com/inc/sdetail/3384
I had to get another axel. No motor upgrade available for my unique year.
Currently am working on glove box doors to fit existing holes
You know, I never considered protecting the bottom of the batteries.

I hope this helps to all who asked about the upgrade.
