Front Seat

looking for a front seat bottom.

I was taking mine apart to recover it an the hip guard bolts were a ***** to unbolt.Tore the hell out of the wood pulling thru...messing up any hope of re-installing the hip guards.

I make my own. Trace out the board and holes on a new piece of plywood. You can get those T nut inserts at Lowe's. You just hammer them in. Replace bolts with stainless when you put it back together.

Tip for T-Nuts: Drill the hole in the wood so the shaft of the T-Nut fits snugly. When you go to tap the nut into the wood make sure a bolt is in the threads of the T-Nut so it stays ROUND while you tap it into the wood. It's abit of a hassle, but you will have fewer problems down the road.

I used 3/4 inch marine grade plywood as the base for my seat platform, (same thing as the seat bottom). I had a little better than 3/4 of a complete base to start with so it took a bit of trial and error to get the right fit. Just take it easy and use a good jig saw, you should be good.

Nevr-Seez is a miracle cure for these types of situations.

Thanks to all...

Best is to build it myself.

Had an offer to sell me a new one locally for $150.00...still in the box.
