Cheers all, nah its gonna be mig'ed mostly the one weld on show might be tig'ed but none of it's being done by me as there are MUCH better welders out there than me. I'll be grinding out the mig welds out to make them look nice though.

are the locating swivels still adjustable so you can alter the angle of the seat unit?

Cheers all,

Carl: I had seen it but it didn't click it was the same one. Will have aread of the thread.

Bigwin: yep they are which was lucky as it wasn't right the first time ;-)

Has anyone cut down the front mud guard on one of these. I'm not keen on it as standard and wondered if there were any examples?

Cheers Antman,

That's close to what I was thinking. Think I'll try some photo-chopping on it and see where I get.
