Default Re: Custom locking seat latch setup....

Thanks for all the kind words.

Mudhog, you read my mind. My next addition is going to be a gas/piston shock that will raise the seat once the latch is activated. Going to set it up so it raises the seat to a maximum before touching the steering wheel. Also, I want to make it easily removable in case you want to totally remove the seat.

Got some parts ordered. I will thread that once I figure it and install.

Ok. So I got some parts; a 28# gas strut, a set of 10mm ball hinges, and a set of 10mm ball studs. Only used 1 of each because only used 1 strut. They came as set, so bought em (save for future use).

I wanted the strut mounted as out of the way as possible, so I found a nice spot next to the gas tank. Mounted 1 ball stud into the frame that supports the seat/front of body and the other into the bottom of the seat.

I found out that the stock seat hinges could not be used. Basically, as the strut opened the seat, it pushed up and pushed the seat right out of the hinge. So I needed to get a different hinge set up.

I found some nice door hinges, heavy duty and some stainless bolts and nuts. Replaced the 2 seat hinges and if you wanted to remove the seat, just pull the hinge pins. Works great!
