    That seat looks almost exactly like my old seat. The reclining is convenient but is a wel point in terms of stiffness.

    It really seems veri stiff, At first I thought that it will need some supporting tubes but now it seems very stiff. I think I have to drive it day or two and see if here is something to modifyi. Of course I don't know if it is difference when it is in 2dof use than now...maybe I just overkill it right away.

    I'm from Finland, by the way. I wonder if there are other enthusiasts from Finland here?

    I thought that this kind of supporting beam would make it rock solid. It of course makes harder to get out form the seat.

    More progress made. Thread inserts welded inside tubes for the seat, shifters attachment in progress and more some supporting pipes and steel plates added. It is still very lightweight, I will weight it when it's done.
