Another day where there was little progress yesterday, had a new lodger to interview, that took two hours.
Cultural and language differences slow stuff down.
Anyway, back to important things……
Rummaged in my steel (scrap) pile and found an old seat support from a mobility scooter…..
Cut down, drilled and welded, ready to be fitted.
The scrap post gave me two post/riser/supports for the front of the passenger (formerly drivers) seat.
I also used some very thick walled pipe to make a pair of rear supports.
You will notice the supports are all different…….
Because the underside and mounting points all differ.
Plates to the supports should spread the load more effectively as well.
Original plan was to use a wooden brace for the drivers side, but I changed my mind, thanks to a good friend (Mr Sparkplug) pointing out the possible failings of wood.
And no hinges.

So today will be a revisit to that section copying it in Box section and then bolting the seats into place as @nickwheeler pointed out to me, it allows me to get the steering column, pedals etc into position with me sitting comfortably.
The drivers seat will also be fully adjustable for other potential drivers.
Currently frosty outside and temperature at 0’C
So not headed out yet, but it looks lovely.
