Just a wee progress report.
Bracketry cut, drilled, tapped, welded and painted....






Made a big long T-bar out of box section to slide throo the bracketry, which also slides throo the back feet of the seats...

 

[bustersbus]

Front seat frame welded, drilled, painted and bolted to what's left of the original tubes that I cut down....

 

[bustersbus]

Seats bolted to bracketry. To take seats out, just undo the bolts on the seat frame and pull out T-bar. These seats ain't goin' anywheres Just need to sort out summit for securing the top of the seats and modify the centre seat lap belt!!!!
