Seat base

(1/5) > >>

onethumb:
Hi all, going to start making th seat base soon and wanted to ask for ideas. Thinking of using 2mm steel or 3mm aluminium. Then there was the thought of a polly nylon kind of material. Then today I saw the old original seat unit that is in quite good shape which I was going to sell as the cover is 8/10 the unit 7.5/10, but as it's just sitting there ready to be used.
Any ideas or thought ?

Thanks.

I would make one. as the original probably won't suit the style your going for . And it won't cost the earth to do .

Valentinik:
What style seat are you going for? I made my brat style seat (flat with a kick up at the back) out of 3mm aluminium and it is plenty thick enough. I wouldn't want to go any thinner in aluminium though.

Yozzer, I really didn't want to destroy a pretty good seat unit.
Valentinik ive got a 20deg kick up on mine, did you weld any of yours, how did you attach bits to the unit. I can't weld aluminium.

yozzer74:
Use rivets to fasten things on to base
