1974 XS/TX650 rebuild

[th62]

Built this seatbase with cowl from 1.1mm sheet. After cutting to shape, the sides were beaten down and the rear section rolled up. A cowl was then bent to shape around the upright and welded. Front mount is a rubber covered spigot, welded to a flat plate and bolted to the nose. I then bent up a raised section to cover the tank mount and welded that in Position. The rear mounts are grommets set into the cowl into which are fitted a couple of positive stop nuts I turned up. A couple of threaded tabs were welded on the rear seat loop and the rear of the seat is bolted to them. Rubber mounted seat to guard against vibration.
