Hi
I recently bought a genuine single seat cowl in great, undamaged condition. Just needs a repaint, as it's in Marlboro colours.
Two requests:
Firstly, it didn't come with the pad. I can get an idea of the shape from the shadow of it left on the cowl and also from photos online, but if anyone had one to hand for more photos (particularly on the back where the bolts are) and maybe accurate dimensions, I would be grateful, so I can try and fashion something similar. Or, of course a decent one available to buy would be even better!
From what I can make out from online photos, the pad material seems to have the outer skin moulded as part of the foam, rather than vinyl cloth over foam. Bit hard to tell, so if someone was able to confirm, that would be useful.
Secondly, it doesn't actually fit quite as well as I had hoped for a genuine part. Everything locates well but the rear edge is noticeably above the front edge of the tail panel. Not massively, but enough to look wrong. My seat is in good, straight condition with the original cover. I've seen photos online of examples that fit flush and some that don't, but assumed that the poor fitting ones were replicas. Just wondering if I've missed something.
Thank you in advance.
