Just trying to finish my boy's Indy Lite build. It looks like there have been a few folks who have done it?
I am trying to figure out a methods of fastening the front of the seat. The one picture shows what I want to achieve. The second is the gas tank itself. I can't see attaching it to the tank itself. It is pretty thin material and I don't thing would hold up to direct contact. Even with bracing and sealant, I still think the gas tank would sweat if I riveted through it.
That leads to fabricating a front brace to run from where cowl plastic meets the tunnel. There are brackets there I could tie into. However, that means making it a little wider where his knees are, and the goal is to make this "skinner build". (Stock seat forced his knees out at a wierd angle.
The other thought I had was to fabricate a brace that would run the middle of the seat into the braceing that attaches the tank to the tunnel. I just don't know if that is going to be enough strength up on the front of the seat.
What has everyone else done?
