Neoprene seat diaphragm holding up well

[Ben Hutchings]

In 2016 I made a replacement seat diaphragm from an old wetsuit. I need to make another one (for passenger seat now) so just looked-up what I’d written down at the time.

Here’s a pic: 

And here’s a write-up if anyone want to do the same: https://myquickfix.co.uk/2016/06/08/homemade-triumph-gt6-seat-base-diaphragm/

Thanks for that Ben, really useful, love these "tips and tricks" (not enough of them about)  .

Fairly recently replaced mine on Vitesse (about £14 each from James Paddock I think) and the frame did need some extra holes drilling.

So shame I didn't see this before, though I'm not sure how long these repro's I bought will last anyway?.

Did one wet suit do only one diaphragm?.

Cheers, Dave

No there was enough for two, I think I used the ‘thigh’ area if memory serves 👍
