So this is the sanity check ?
Are we heading in the right direction - will it work - before we spend anymore time cleaning - cutting - grinding and welding ?
By jove I think it will , I have 2 different height BB's to insert , this is the shorter one the other is considerably longer so I can try a couple of BB heights however we will easily achieve level with seat base and 5" above.
Top of seat base marked on square post , rest is 3 3/4 " so I marked and trimmed that down to seat top + 1 7/8" .
I then fully welded the post to the front gusset.
I drilled 2 x M8 holes 90' apart in top bit to hold BB post at desired height.
Whilst I want the 2 stays I realise I can't weld them to the square post as it could distort and then the BB post won't fit.
Best option may be to make BB end of them tabs with M8 holes in and use upper BB holding screw for stays as well , only a little more work ?
