Seat Frame Repair?
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:46 pmHi,
I bought a seat frame second hand from a dealer but it needs some work.
I have removed the springs although some people just blast everything and then powder coat but maybe blasting the springs with interfere with how well they return to their original shape
Saying that I needed to remove anyway because I need access to the frame.
The parts of the frame that are riveted together have been repaired at some point on one side but using a one of the grab rail screws probably because it has a shoulder with no thread and was convenient. So do I weld up the holes, re drill to the correct size (anyone know what that is?) and re rivet? Is that something a good welder can do? Also the seat grab rail threaded holes are worn so these could do with a similar fix.
Is it worth the hassle or shall I just buy another seat?
Please see pics.......................
