Was just curious what type of metal would be suggested for making a bracket to mount a seat and harness bar?

u are going to want to use steel, do you know how to weld?

Mr. H · 11-11-2009, 11:40 PM

thats what i thought but wanted to make sure, I'm currently learning how to weld.

in the mean time get a professinal to weld it for you. the difference will mean life or death.
a friend of mine went to a shop and had one made for around 70 bux IIRC

If you are in a class learning to weld than I would say this is boarderline ok...if you are learning to weld by yourself then this is not a project that you want to take on. Like zenki.life said it could cost you your life.
No disrespect intended, but I have been welding most of my life and I do not like to do safety equipment.

no offense, but if you're asking what kind of metal to use you're in over your head.
