Title: seat foam
Post by: Mike Lenz on March 01, 2005, 01:21:49 PM
Short/Tall seat foam wanted. Al is out and this is all I need to finish up my 100! He is getting some more made (softer than the first batch), but will be a while. Anybody have any willing to part with??
Thanks

Mike,

West Plains Uphostery has been doing a great job on all my seats. Call James Seiber at 417-256-6280. He has some Pentons and I believe can make the foam for you.

Ted - I sold James a '74 250 a couple of years ago and shipped it to him at West Plains Upholstery. He said you were his guru at the time. Never heard much more about it but hope he was happy and it runs well for him...always did for me. Tell him I said hi from Oregon.

Mac,

He loves it. He is so busy though, I can't get him to go to any of the races. He is promising to go this year, but then he promised all last year and didn't go once. He has purchased a few more Pentons. We now have four Penton families in our little town of West Plains!!!

Ted,
Glad he liked it. It was a bit rough from the guy I bought it from's marginal resto job, but for whatever reason, the thing ran fantastic and pulled like a freight train. I should have made sure I had the jetting specs and took a look to see if someone had done some porting before I let it go...  Mac

Thanks alot Foster. However usually those old seat foams are so soft they are really almost unuseable. For now I stole the seat off the 73 Jackpiner I also just got done this winter.
