Strap we are using https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/light-duty-lashing-straps-1-in-x-12-ft-2-pk-0402701p.html?rrec=true#spc

Bolster Update : Using straps for bolster instead of velcro. Max Newtons is 1471 which is 150kg which is below the 204kg max so it is safe

Seat and Bolster Test Bench - What is needed

  1. Chassis needs to be installed

    1. maybe bottom panels

    2. maybe doors (the more parts of the car installed, the better)

    3. the more things installed the more parts we can try and fix for comfort (ex doors arent necessary but would help with overall comfort)

  2. Construct bolsters and Seats out of wood

    1. general shape does not need to have exact curvature

    2. head part so we can see comfort with helmet

    3. make stackable seat separately and test comfort

    4. same for bolsters

    5. can get fabrics and cushions samples to test comfort

Questions to ask people testing

  1. Rate comfort of cushions

  2. Seat design, stackable seat overall comfort of seat and bolsters

  3. Suggestions for how it can be modified/changed and proceed with those changes
