CaptainJoe Posted August 15, 2012 #1 Posted August 15, 2012 Need a second gen seat. Don't need the foam or the cover just the frame.... Experimenting with an idea I had .
CaptainJoe Posted August 17, 2012 Author #2 Posted August 17, 2012 Bump???????????? I'm not lookiNg for GIVE AWAY...(would be nice but I'm realistic) Will pay a reasonable price, but Im taking the vinyl and foam off anyway.
Cougar Posted August 17, 2012 #3 Posted August 17, 2012 Joe, let me take a looksy over the weekend in the shed and see if I still have a MM seat in there. not sure if its still there dont get your hopes up yet.
KIC Posted August 18, 2012 #4 Posted August 18, 2012 Sounds like you are customizing a seat. I helped my friend customize his 2nd Gen seat for CHRISTmas last year...so... if you need some help, here is my handi work:
CaptainJoe Posted August 18, 2012 Author #5 Posted August 18, 2012 Cougar, Thanks let me know. Kic, no thanks fella.... LOL I'm going to modify a second gen seat by cutting away portions of the bottom and installing a waterproof 90 CFM fan. Then will streech a breathable top across using different materials so entire top surface is porous/breathable. Going to be an interesting challange doing the top as it must be comfortable and look good. And NO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PINK!
Freebird Posted August 18, 2012 #6 Posted August 18, 2012 Is this going to be for cold weather? I can see where that MIGHT work if you are trying to warm the seat but if you attempting to cool a seat, it just seems that you are going to blowing engine heat into it.
CaptainJoe Posted August 18, 2012 Author #7 Posted August 18, 2012 Not if I place a thin aluminum plate under the fan so that it has to pull air in from the sides... concept borrowed from laptop cooler pad.... But with slideeable areas I can see where you could also heat it Thanks Freebird
Freebird Posted August 18, 2012 #8 Posted August 18, 2012 Well good luck. Let us know how it works out

Cougar Posted August 19, 2012 #10 Posted August 19, 2012 No sign of the seat Caption !! gave it a shot tho.. good luck on your project ! Jeff
dacheedah Posted August 19, 2012 #11 Posted August 19, 2012 oh u could use dampers on those baffles, winter mode and summer mode. Sounds like an awesome idea, keep us updated on how your beta testing is goin on your butta. . .
wrenchrob Posted August 19, 2012 #12 Posted August 19, 2012 I want to try something like this for a winter project. I was thinking about trying to install a TED (thermo-electric device). A TED can be found in some newer vehicles used to cool the seats. I work for a Ford dealer and am waiting to hopefully get one from a warranty return to try so as to try and keep costs to a minimum in case this project fails.
