Too far to drive to measure backrests....

My wave is at the lake 1+ hour away in the middle of nowhere. I cant measure and buy them where it is stored. I'd have to drive all the way out, measure, drive back to buy, then again out to install. I need to find new padding for the backrests locally if possible.

Anyone care to share information on:
Tube diameter
Pad thickness, 1/2" or more? I don't want too thin and the backrest covers fall off or for that matter, cannot get to close around the padding if I buy too thick.
Pad length?

I can get 6' sticks at the hardware store for under $20. I cannot, repeat cannot, find info on it on Google anywhere!

Thanks for saving me about a 3 hour round trip to measure.

Any recommendations on what to use or where to buy or what to avoid?

I can do it later today.

I just purchased new padding for mine, so the info is fresh in my mind.

The backrest tube is 1-7/8" dia.
The padding ID is 2"
The padding is 3/4" thick, so the padding OD is 3-1/2"
The padding is about 86-1/2" long, so you need three 6' pieces.

I purchased mine online here:

It shipped to me from Grainger, so if you have a Grainger near you, maybe they will have it.

This is what is on mine:

THANKS! Saved me a long drive with a tape measure.
