Finally riding a big boys bike
I'm restoring a 30's to 40's seat. My concern is that although I bought 1/2" thick foam and also 1/4" thick foam, I decided the 1/2" was too thick.
My problem is that the bolt heads on the surface of the seat are causing the 1/4" foam to arch up above the two bolt heads. I know when i glue down the leather over this foam, the leather is going to have two raised bumps in it.
Should the foam be 1/2" thick? should I scrape off the 1/4" foam and replace it with 1/2?
Or, should I cut out the foam above the bolt heads, and by doing so perhaps the bolt head impressions won't come through the leather????
