I just finished this project the other day. I wanted to make something sturdier and more attractive than the mounts that came with the seat rail I bought so I decided to make some from scratch to my specific measurements.

I started with some 1/8 mild steel stock and after measuring the distance between the studs on the rail, the width of the seat and the height that I needed I came up with a design.




I had these stainless steel pucks around so I had holes machined in them aswell as some conical aluminum washers. They will be spacers between the brackets and the seat.






I got both sides bent and cut the pattern out with a die grinder, then cleaned that up with a sanding wheel. After that the rest was done with files and sandpaper.













Then they got sprayed with high build primer and sanded down for paint...



Then finished them up with 5 coats of satin black epoxy paint





Im really happy with the results, Hopefully Ill be installing these tomorrow but well see. All in all it took me about 2 months from start to finish between work and other projects. Let me know what you think

 

Looks real good. Post pics when you install em.

 

wow great work

 

Great work! You need some speed holes in them!
What seat are you using?

 

Speed holes? Seat is a Memoryfab s68

 

looking pretty good... what seat are you going to use them on?

 

if I were you I'd throw in some nylon locking nuts.

 

The nuts are just there to hold the bolts for mock up, the bolts are going to be threaded into the seat upon installation.

 

Looks good

 

looks great. are you going to sell any?

 

They look great man. BUT I would pull down that picture with your thumbprint.


One day you could be rockin the ep3 and the next day you could be a murder suspect.

 

Thanks, not planning on selling any since they are so much work to make, plus there is no adjustment so each set would need to be custom made.
