the weight on the tip bones at the buttocks (ischial tuberosities for

ChrisHere are (first) a couple of photos of my back rest
note that I used a couple scraps of blue & green foam to form a lumbar
support which I=99ve found to be very effective.
I am 6=99-1.
For the seat cushion, I too felt that I was not getting sufficient thigh
support; note that although I extended the blue and green foam forward
of the vertical face of the cockpit module, initially I had not extended
the plywood seat frame enough and had to go back and add to the frame so
it aligned with the foam.
BTW, Beneath my foam seat assembly, I have two thicknesses of 1=9D
rigid insulation.
It works well for meam just now in the process of having ultra
leather covers sewn up for a little =9Cpleat and roll=9D job
which wraps around and is stapled into the plywood frameframe
is 1/8=9D mahogany plywood with edges doubled up for staples
