Re: Jim's 1969 Custom/20

BENCH SEAT (2 OF 8)

The next thing I did was to figure out how much foam I needed and how much and where I needed to cut out damaged areas of the original foam. I inspected the foam closely, took a lot of measurements, and made a graph of the results. I did this for both the back and the bottom.

I calculated that I would need only three pieces to make the repairs to the back and bottom so I ordered the material as follows.

Back…….……….24 x 24 x 3, D=2.4, F=33
Bottom…………..24 x 24 x 1, D=2.4, F=33
Botttom…………16 x 10 x 6, D=2.4, F=33
Bottom…………..Burlap, 40 x 36, 10 oz
