Ghostchips Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 What type of seats do you recommend? Those alloy seats look fun to make but i wanted a bench seat and can't find enough useable springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Couldn't you get an old couch for sweet f a and get the springs etc outta that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Couldn't you get an old couch for sweet f a and get the springs etc outta that? In the past, yes. If i find one i will do that later. My neighbors burnt a couch recently and the springs were all garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The seat in my T is just the stock metal base with a sheet of plywood then I got an old foam mattress and an old sauna bead and ripped all the wiring out and stitched it onto the foam. Your seat looks much more comfortable, as the foam compresses down to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your seat looks much more comfortable, as the foam compresses down to much. It's not bad, it's just like chairs made in rural northland 150 years ago. But i am looking to upgrade to springs and maybe vinyl seat covers later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Your not wrong with your windscreen frame, they are round section, the A model has the flattened type. I will have your painted bracket if you don't want it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangbug Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Oh and speaking of seats and springs and what not.I have a couch (leather) which used to be nice but has seen too many things to carry on with life. It's the right shape etc for a seat for an R(eally)OS ride, I'm binning it, you want me to take pics etc for springs should you be interested?Can pull them for you if you want, no dramas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Man an old couch would be a great donor for this thing! Leather, springs, padding. Perfect! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbug Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 You may not want the leather...... though I suppose it's clad everywhere so the back might do the trick.I'll get a picture and dimension this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
