Its 1.2mm mild steel. Just looks shiny as it’s been wire brushed

Great, thanks. I know you are going to get it covered professionally but do you know how he is going to attach the cover to the base on the underside?

I’d imagine either rivets orncover the whole thing like a sleeve. That’s upholsterer perks though 👍

Nice job Underdog, that's the fun of building a special, the working out of how to overcome problems and the satisfaction that comes with it when you do :)
I think you have mixed up an upholsterer with a Coach Trimmer though. An Upholsterer makes sofa's and dining room chairs, a Coach Trimmer make vehicle seats, carpets, headlinings, motorcycle seats etc. I'm only saying this because I used to be a Coach Trimmer back in the day (wish I was still doing it, and still have all my tools and sewing machine in the loft!) ;)

Sorted out the mount for my solid state reg/rec
Cut the brackets for the old reg and rec off and decided I was going to mount it here
Put my ‘new’ bench drill to good use (it’s actually almost 70 years old!)
Welded some bolts through from the other side
And voila!
I can’t remember what this little bracket with a hole in is for so I left it on for now, any ideas?
Heard back from some automotive trimmer re getting my seat done.. £185 :o

Looking good this is. Nice work indeed
