Seat Pivot In The Works


Got the preliminary work done on the nose pivot for the seat. Pretty stoked with the way the ring spanner idea worked out, far more stock looking than a piece of flat bent to shape, and stronger.


Still got to tack the attachment plate onto the seat pan and then start looking at getting the spring hangers nailed on there. Thinking that if the measurement between the centre of the pivot bar on the frame to the lower spring supports is the same as that between the nose pivot on the seat and the upper spring mounts, both ends of the spring will be at the same radius, gotta be better .............. ain't it?
