Fishfiles 20,147 Posted November 4, 2021 I got a couple of 450 seats you could pick from , but it would have to be local pick up in southern Louisiana only , cause it would cost more to ship it than it is worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormy 60 Posted November 4, 2021 I am in middle Tennessee so that wouldn't work. Are they in good shape? Wonder what it would cost to ship one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormy 60 Posted November 4, 2021 If its a complete seat i would be willing to pay that for it. Depending on how much you would want for it and if they are in good shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormy 60 Posted November 4, 2021 Shadedtree, just got done looking through that build on the customization page. Super clean setup!!! I will look into that and see. I have the bases and the foam but the foam has a few holes in it and i will still need a cover. Just didnt know if any body close might have one or something.

Goober 1,555 Posted November 4, 2021 As long as they are available i Buy new OEM it costs less than a recover. you’ll be happier and it’ll fit better. As seats age, and sometimes when they’re recovered, the pan warps and they dont fit right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormy 60 Posted November 4, 2021 Sounds good, i will just look into getting a stock replacement seat. I'm guessing the front skid plates are a little harder to come by. Anybody know if there is a company that makes a replacement for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,751 Posted November 4, 2021 Pans can warp as Goober said, but if the pan is in good shape, you could fill the holes in the foam and staple a seat cover on it. I get seat covers from this guy, and they are always a perfect fit, and come with instructions. I'm a klutz and I've recovered a few seats that looked new when I was done. He doesn't show a 450 cover, but if you message him he can likely get one for you. I've gotten Rincon, 05-11 Foreman, and 300 covers from him and all have fit like a glove. https://www.ebay.com/sch/kentskovers4u/m.html?item=254666395054&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
