2009.07.15 - Elise Seat Mounting ver.2 Fabrication (Pt. 2)
- Fabricated brackets for seat rails
- Welded brackets to seat rails
- Cleaned and painted completed seat rails and seat brackets
- Mounted seat rails
- Mounted seat
I spent the past few days finishing fabrication of the Elise seat mounting system. When it was all finally fabricated, things didn't fit quite like I had intended (because it's very hard to position things when the seat doesn't really have any squared faces to line it up with, and you just have to sort of mock things up and play it by ear as you go along), but I was able to use some washers to raise the rear of the rails slightly and that seems to have improved things. I think I need a few more washers, actually, but for now it is fine.
