Padding on Cockpit roll cage

[bluesatin]

I want to tidy up the foam padding i have on the cockpit roll cage and cover in either alcantara or leather. Anybody suggest a trimmer in Maidenhead area that can do this or somebody that can supply ready made with Velcro seems.

I used this as a temporary measure fitted over roll bar padding.
OMP roll bar padding (exact stuff makers numbers and all) is available from plumbers merchant at a fraction of their cost.
N.B. their padding is NOT FIA /MSA approved.

Hello Bluesatin, ask these guys http://www.kbaggstrimming.co.uk/index.html. I would be interested to know if they can do the work? Hopefully worth a call, I know they are not local and they are not going to be cheap I expect! I may be looking for the same thing in the near future for my new toy. I know they have worked on an Ultima in the past. Ult-Jim

FC: is that stuff for padding against a bump of head when you're getting in and out. Looks nice but does nothing more? or is it proper hard stuff?

The padding I used is closed cell pipe lagging (soft as ste) but as you say may help stop you bashing your head if you are tall.
The padding OMP sell is identical but £18.00 a length as opposed to £3.50 from the plumbers.
with the covers on it's not too bad (not up to a trimmers standard) for the time being.
The FIA stuff is hard as nails (intended for blunt force trauma to a helmet!)and would hurt if you banged your head agaunst it!
