Ripped seat

[Todd JacksonMember]

Hey guys,
I finally got around to cleaning the big yellow tractor after the OBT Sunny Corner Christmas ride, in the process I have noticed a slight rip on the seat, a perfect right angle approx 10mm x 10mm. I cannot afford to get the seat recovered, and I am thinking about whacking a bit of 100 mile an hour tape on it, unless of course some one here can offer me a u-beaut inexpensive solution or share any similar experiences and repair remedies

BTW Mal5.1 I should have that part in the mail early next week, Again many thanks

Cheers

You could try a bit of silastic, a bit undr the rip to glue it to the foam and a smear over the top. Just something I thought of but I have never tried it to know if it works.

My daughter accidently nocked my YZ over when I was changing the oil. I was lucky because she could have been under it. I now Hold it up from both bars with tie downs from the shed. Aaaaanyyyway. I am going to take the staples off and take the cover in to the shoe repairing dude and put a patch on the inside with some glue. Yeah I could get a new cover but I like the black and silver one. This seat has a rough finish so I am hoping the repair wont be an I saw. If it looks crap I will chace down a pro circuit one I saw once. IMO I think the tape on the outside will look crap and wont work very well.

Dude that looks alright for a quick fix very surprising. I will try my idea this weekend and see how it goes.
