The seat won't be as good as a bead seat, but it fills the need. I've had both in a carbon fiber tub Formula Renault. The bead seat was made by a guy who did it for a living and was great. The foam seats weren't as good, but they were 1/20th the cost.
Good luck,

I used to pour fiberglass molds for a living and am pretty confident that I can do this relatively good. I think we may use this on the next car we are building that will actually see sanctioned events. I found some fire retardant foam material that will fit the bill and is less than $75 bucks.
Thanks for both your inputs as I will need this stuff down the road. Right now its for the LeMons car and as such is a bit out of the price range we are aiming for.
