Fishwog Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 well I used a planet-x trials seat, a union jack one, got bored of it n ripped all the union jack n paddin off, it was just like the old beefier brisa seat then. But then I put very sharp knife to seat and cut away with glee, right down to a tiny seat with no structure support underneath as I dont really sit on it at all. THEN.... I rubbed it all down and primed it and then put 5 layers of pearlescent midnight blue on it then laquer finished it and it looks f*cking brilliant. I'll have to send sum pics of it in!!!

Bendee Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 You could use a hot knife my mate did and he made a rather nice job of it and to finish it off sand it down. I used plyers, wasnt a very good idea as it gave me blood blisters on my fingers and took ages. Or a grinder quick easy and effective. and maybe to add a little sexyness cover it in leoperd skin fabric niiiiiiiiice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 it is really easy to cut them with a decent pair of tin snips, just to do the rough stuff, if you don't have access to a hot-knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I cut mine down with a small saw,lol. It looks pretty gud aswell :rolleyes: , I took all of the padding of and then cut the sides down and then made the seat sit as low on my frame as I could (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Couldn't you just use a sharp knife, rather than a hot one? I used an angle grinder on mine. But then again, I didn't do it carefully enough, so it was a bit shit. So Kids: Use knives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 But if you under 18's get an adult to help you as childen under 18 using a knife is dangerous! Remember that (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
