[AT] 430V update

[Cecil Bearden]

Just a note, the high density foam is usually a charcoal gray color.  I 
have used some polyurethane packing foam that comes in blocks when 
computers are shipped.  It is a coarse plastic looking foam, but it 
works great in seat backs, and is almost like a memory foam It can also 
be glued together to get certain shapes.
