loved the video, especially the lack of gloves and exact measurements, yet you produce some stunning work. Now its time for me to create a seat. P.S. Didn't know it was snowing in your locality! :)

i guess for this cutting part you could use a hot wire because it's less messy and it can be more precise.

​ @For The Bold a fence wire and a bike or car battery. i used this to make my own seat after seeing some of your fiberglassing videos for the ghost.

Or just a cheap electric turkey carver, can find them used for almost nothing at thrift stores etc.

I’m sure there’s one at my parents house somewhere

An upholster friend of mine use to use an old electric knife for trimming foam.

A good tool too. Regret my parents not keeping theirs from the 80s. I’ve resorted to an angle grinder.

@@forthebold nice 1, thanks, got interested in the r60 after watching Elspeth beard video, also needing to get my 20ft container kitted out as a workshop for my XT500 reso. Good chatting with you.

What glue you recommend to use to make it stick proper? Doing my first seat in the coming weeks.

Anything epoxy that you need to mix

What is the gauge of this sheet metal? Is it 18, 20 or 22. Great vídeo... watching!

It’s 1mm in metric

Does the upholsterer have an issue stapling to metal compared to fiber glass? Also did you weld the bolts so the seat can be removed without them moving inside.

They just glue on the fabric. You can weld the bolts but for this one they won’t turn.

Sir next video i am wating for your videos
