Hey guys, so i ordered a pc of that fiberglass re-enforced 1/16" EPDM sheet from Mcmaster-carr to make 1st stage diaphragms which worked out really good. As we all know Dacor regs are only favored by a few old die hards and really like the swivel turret 960's. I have gotten some of those HP seats carried by NESS and Trident. They are great and work perfect. I know there are some NOS Dacor HP seats kickin around out there. VDH has them on his site. My concern with NOS HP seats is that the seat is still 20 years old or more and the composite seat substance has gotten hard (past shelf life maybe). I have had a NOS seat creep. Put in an aftermarket seat in the reg and she is rock steady. I took the Dacor seat and scraped/carved out the seat stuff just to play with it as i like to see what makes things tick. My question is,,,has anyone ever tried to replace the seat material in a seat like this? Does anyone know of a substance that could be used to "rebuild" these type of HP seats. This question doesn't come from being a cheapo looking to save a buck on a new seat, it is just that I like tinkering with stuff and sometimes my thoughts get carried away. Any thoughts out there?.....
