Default Foam under rear seat Saloon.

Hi everyone.

Quick question. Since I've been fixing things for the last few weeks I did find when I removed the rear seat base that it was soaked.

My question is what is a suitable replacement for the sponge/ foam pad that lives under the seat base ( ontop of the fuel tank.

The current one looks like it could give you Cholera.

Cheers

Well assuming the rain leak is fixed, I think I'd go for a sheet of closed cell Neoprene foam of a similar thickness to the old one. Closed cell foam won't absorb water like a sponge should a leak happen again. Rain leaks are about as common as coolant leaks so plan for that. It won't be cheap, but you'll find the stuff on eBay.
