I need some suggestions and maybe some help in finding someone to do the work.
My sister recently moved to TV and immediately got a new Yamaha golf cart from the guys at Sumter Landing. Beautiful new cart. I was very envious. Fast forward to delivery date. Big new cart arrives and sister (I’d never thought of her as little, but I guess she is fairly short) tries to drive it. Unfortunately, she can’t reach the pedals, panics on a down ramp into a tunnel, and rolls the thing. (She’s okay.)
This is a Yamaha which does not have adjustable seats. I got some long bolts and some PVC pipe and pushed the seat back forward about 3 to 4 inches. This helps, but I’m not overly confident about the stability of the bolts and it looks tacky. :yikes:
Alternative solution is to put a pillow or cushion behind her. Simple, inexpensive, and likely do the job. However, this caused me to come up with another possibility. The cushion would likely be loose, frequently falling out of the cart, etc. Size could be an issue (sorry, it’s true, but this time I mean the size of the pillow), finding one that pushed her forward enough but not too far. And speaking of looking tacky! What about getting a piece of foam, cut it to the proper size to provide needed boost and comfort, cover it with a tarp-like material similar to the seat covers, and add Velcro straps to the back to attach it to the existing seat back. :hot:
Does this sound viable? If so, how do I do it? I’m home-ec challenged, can’t sew at all. Where would I get the thick foam, a canvas like material to match the seats/sunbrella, the Velcro straps, and someone to do the sewing? Any ballpark estimate of what something like this would cost? :2cool:
Any other ideas to solve the basic problem, short of surgery for sis? :bow:
