I just got done making my own set of portage pads, and although it took some labor they turned out very well, I will put some pics up later, but here are the basics.
A piece of 8x4 wood
Two bolts and matching wing nut
A piece of bar metal preferably with hole 2.5-3 in apart
two sheets of 16x24 vinyl.
1/2" thick soft foam slightly larger than 8x4
4" thick dense upholstery foam
assemble as shown.
I will post some pictures of my results in a day or so.

Why did you use staples though? You went to all the trouble to build the darn thing and you can't tap a few fancy nails in? Weight an issue? LOL LT! With all that padding it must be a sweet ride.
