Spine Protector
Has anybody seen a decent rib protector for sale?
All the ones I have tried are really only rib protectors and I end up looking like a hunchback after 20 minutes. The only way I've got round it so far is to make a heath robinson version with some really thick foam which pushed me forward in the seat by about 3 inches. Quite useful for getting some weight on the front of the kart but it don't half feel uncomfortbale.

I have a solid Ribtec with glued oversized Rubber Camping role on the outside.
I sit on a Rubber Garden Kneeling pad.
I use DIY suede Heavy Duty Builders gloves from B&Q.
