where do I go to get racing foam seat pads?
I assume that I can just go online and order square footage of it, right?

and what is a good price for it?

The foam from craft stores are supposed to be much cheaper. But they don't come with the adhesive.

I think sharkskinz sells them in small squares of 12"X12" and in different thicknesses. I think I paid $40 for a square. The ones at the craft store are like a couple dollars for the same size square.

Sharkskinz sells 14x14 pads witha sticky back that you cut to fit.

They're 18 or 22 bucks depending on whether you want 1/2" or 3/4".

Just look in the bodywork section for any bike, it's down at the bottom next to the fasteners.

If the cheap stuff doesn't come with adhesive then you could try automotive adhesive available at any autoparts store (spray can)...though I have no idea what it's going to do to the plastics so test it first before spraying anything.

I've used this stuff in my cars when I was installing sunroofs and it's pretty good. Clean both surfaces, spray both contact points, allow it to tack up and then press together.

Just a thought.
