What seats do you have? I absolutely
LOVE mine.
Here's a rough list of what I bought:
- 4x 3 foot 1.25" Square Post @ 21.98 each
- These will need to be cut to size and painted
- You could substitute these for normal square tube but I didn't price that out.
- 5x 4 count M8 1.25 Nyloc Nuts (4 per bag, so 20 nuts total) @ $.68 each
- 2x 10 count 8MM washers @ $1.38 each
- 20x 3/8 Steel Spacers @ $1.15 each
- You need about 1" but they only had 1.25" so I had to cut all mine to size.
- These go inside the tubes to help bolster the square sign post.
- 8x M8 1.25 Bolts @ 3.16 each
- At least 70-75mm, can be cut to length if longer
- Sized to fit through the sign post through the frame
- 12x M8 1.25 Bolts @ 3.12 each
- Around 60 mm, can be cut to length if longer
- Sized to fit through the seat to the sign post
Total cost was about $179.80 + tax.
You can cut down on this if you only use 4 bolts per seat and no spacers by about 17 bucks.
I used a welder to tack the bolts to the outsides of the sign post, to make removing from the frame easier. The seat then bolts on to that. Finding the right spot is sorta tricky so find and drill your holes in the frame before welding them in. I used blue painters tape to help align them and screw them in. ez-pz.
The idea is you put the small tube spacers (each cut to size if necessary) in between the sign post, to help sturdy it up. Each seat gets 6 bolts to attach to the sign post, and each sign post gets 2 bolts each. The sign post just barely has a perfect lineup to the DF frame.I have an extended frame so I can't say for sure how it lines up with a standard frame.
