    Just got a seat cover for my 72 Husky and before I put it on I was wondering if there was a way to repair an aged seat foam?
    Mine is a bit rough around the rear and on the front the bolt that holds the tank on gouged it out some. All of the damage is pretty light.
    A new foam is unnecessary and would cost to much.

    Ideas? Thanks!

    And p.s. I'm looking for a set of red cables.

    You can use great stuff @ home improvement store. Spray on, let foam harden, trim with knife.

    I did a newer seat that got a tree limb poked thru cover and took chunk out of foam. It worked to keep shape and put new cover on. Thought?

    I thought of that, but I was afraid the poly foam would be too hard. Might be worth a try. Nothing I can't remove.... I hope.

    shape the original and then buy a thin sheet of higher density to go over the top.
