Redo. This time, much better.

Paid Josh a quick visit earlier, the whole way I was thinking, this seat isn’t made for long trips so now I have a brainworm nagging me to get a Scheel-Mann.

Anyone have experience with those? It’s going to throw my whole interior plans for a loop, so before I got too far down the line, I’d like feedback.

i don’t have experience with those, but I installed the procar elite in my 60 like 15 years ago. Bolt in, they’ve been great for me; I’ve logged lots of seat time. (40k miles?).

3D printing is out of the question; going with a controller + pot. The pot is standalone; I had to shave off enough to make it work with the knob. Fits nice, looks fine. I'll mount the box somewhere and run an inline fuse for safety. So far, it seems to be fine, will take it for a spin to see if it'll hold. All of this is because I decided I had to be special and go with LEDs.

Hog rings last a long time. The zip ties won't. Seat looks great.

Paint shop: I know, let’s install non-OEM whatever spare we have on hand.

Yeah, no. Took the inner-wheel well off, replaced the case nuts, new bolts all the way through.

The apron is back on and I’m done with the front.

And my happiest moment all week. I found the 3.5mm rod that connects to the latch rocker assembly. I thought I had lost it, for a whole month+ I’ve been going through the mental toil trying to figure out an alternative. Found it in a box.

I can finally push the button and open the upper gate like a normal person.
