Model D seat measurements

Post by nekrikstas » March 21st, 2016, 11:25 am

I want to make a seat cushion from yoga mat for my workouts with model D in the club. Could anyone be so kind and post the exact measurements (width, height) of the seat in cm?

thank you!

Since we're talking "exact" measurements, note that the seat is not perfectly flat, so if you cut something to the exact size of the edges and drape it over the seat it will pull in just a bit from the sides. Not by much, but the engineer in me forced me to type this. ;)

thank you.
I tried to measure with the help of PhotoShop using this https://diana.bib.uniurb.it/pool/C2Seat ... 104124.jpg and found out that the width is 33,7 cm and the height is 24,7 cm. And I do understand that the seat is not rectangular.

I remember once getting measured for a new bike seat (ergon)
They had me sit on a piece of pressure sensitive paper to seer exactly where the points of impact were to get the correct seat.

Maybe something like this paper would be better as a template. ?

Guys ... As the actual poster of the above link ... The seat IS rectangular. 31.6 x 25.15 bottom size.

Of course the enginer in Ombrax is correct :mrgreen:

Odd. My erg seat is only about 4 1/2 cm high. But, if people insist on referring to one of the dimensions of the horizontal rectangle (with its rounded corners) as height, I suppose that I could just think of it as being 4 1/2 cm thick.

Plan interpreted as elevation perhaps? Miserable thing is 9-3/8"x11-3/4" old money and the only thing that will improve it is a pad with depressions for the ischial tuberosities. Voila:
