[QUOTE="davidd, post: 98843, member: 1177"] Gary, On my Series D, I made another seat pan so I could do two things: first, get the seat upholstered with a thinner layer of foam (actually two layers) and second, narrow the seat up front. I was pleased with the results. I had noticed that the D seat on the open D was designed for the enclosed D. As a result, the seat's width extended beyond the narrower open D frame. When I made the seat pan I narrowed the seat to fit the width of the frame exactly so it did not wide my stance when standing still. This way, I could get both feet on the ground instead of one. I had Sargents do the upholstery. They used their foam that would not bottom out over time for the first layer and added a softer layer on top. [ATTACH=full]23483[/ATTACH] David [/QUOTE]
