Converting a Viscount to air??



Yes, and its not that difficult, I did mine and it is cetainly an
improvement. Unscrew the rear bumper and and carefully peel away the
cover up to the front bumper, then cut away as much foam as you think is
necessary to accomadate whatever you choose to use as an air cussion, I
origonally used a 16'' inner tube folded into four but found that I got
frequent puntures so now use a tube out of a mountain board which is
fatter and hopefuly stronger but I only fitted it tonight so am yet to
find out.
Don't cut away too much foam as its a good idea to keep the seat shape
at the front and back and use something sharpe and try to remove it in
one piece if you can so it can be replaced if for some reason you don't
get on with the airseat. Its worth stuffing the tube into a sock or
something so it doesn't squeeze out at the sides too much.
Then glue the cover back down using contact adhesive or something that
won't stick it too fast as you might need to revove the tube in future
to repair puctures.
