45 series, mounting sport seat

Post by loosecanon »

hi all,

im building a 45series, and am wondering what ideas have been used for mounting seat brackets, it has to pass engineering. i have a couple of idea's but want to do it right the first time, was wondering what material to use e.g. flat bar, rhs boxing, or even a bit of channel, do i weld or bolt and whats the go with the hieght, as it has the two blocks at the front do i need to space the back so it's level,

cheers for youre help guys

you will find height is not to much of a problem its is maily the center line to S-wheel thats is important bolting rails to the original frame makes it easy and should pass ..also make sure it moves freely and allows good adjustment front to rear as they tend to check it ..also make sure the seat is firm and doesnt move around on the rails as they will say its to worn and replace it

so just use some flat bar an bolt to the tub and then but bolt the seat rail (and seat of course) to the flat bar, sounds pretty simple

yea i had a search, but couldn't pull anything up, any ideas what it was called. the angle sounds to be a good idea, that's what i was thinking of, how would it go with engineering?
