Sega Rally Twin - Model 2/MAME conversion

I've never seen seat covers used on arcade seats before.
Did you add cushioning?

I wish I'd thought of that to add some cushioning to my old cab.
Those plastic seats get uncomfortable after a while.

I did add foam cushioning. The one on the seat bottom was very thick and the one on the seat back was thinner. Wasn't sure if the seat covers would fit ok but I was very happy with the end result.

Because the plastic seat back covers have a lot of screws holding it does a great job of holding the seat cover in place how you want it.

Hi,

I'm about to purchase a sega twin rally tomorrow. How did you add the cushioning? I mean practically - how do you do that? I have no idea.
Does anybody know if the plastic side panels can be purchased separately? The cab I have an eye on doesn't have them it's straight.

thx

I bought some foam cushioning, the type you would use in a couch. I think the bottom was 2-3 inches thick and the back 1 inch thick. The sides of the seat have these sort of plastic wings that stick up. I just cut the foam to fit in between these and then glued them to the plastic seat. Car seat cover over the top and pulled tight all the way around and your done.

What do you mean when you say the one you have your eye on has straight panels? I think what you are referring to is the US model of the Daytona/Sega Rally which is made of wood and has flat mdf side panels?? My version is the Japanese version which is metal and plastic.

it looks like this - the picture in attachment - that'll be a us version then but it is in europe and runs on 230V...
EDIT picture removed - I decided not to buy it - too much work - not enough time

thanks for posting your build thread. This is helping me with my daytona2 mods to run PC. Can I ask you what model buttons those are you used for the VR control panel? If u see this? I know the post is from awhile back, hope you build is going strong yet these days!

Hey @bsoder52, yep build is still going strong. Still gets used just as much now as when I first built it.

The buttons I used were from Suzo Happ and are made for slot machines. Here is a link to one of the Colors

Thanks Tiger! I'm considering ordering some similar rectangular aftermarket buttons and just creating a panel to install them. Can I ask how you fabricated the panel you used to install your buttons?
It looks like it was made right out the SEGA shop floor!

I had the original Sega Rally panel which is the same overall size as a Daytona so I just cut Extra holes for the additional view buttons and then put black vinyl on the face. Can’t remember if I had to make the original holes bigger for the new buttons.
