verminator69 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Was boared yesterday so decided to give Andy ( cocker3 ) a phone and give me a hand to knock up a couple of seats, we aint no joiners but well happy with the results. Only took about 5hrs 14 lths of 3"x 1.5" and a couple of boxes of No10 x 2.5" screws,lots of coffee and fags lol. The seat base is 3.2mtrs from the deck.then decided to just go and put them out,shifted them on the back of the pickup. So hopfully put them to good use soon. Once again Andy thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docholiday Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks Henry never thought of that. the other option we use is to have the gun rest attatched on one side with a nut and bolt so you can swing it up to get into the seat, then drop it down when in the seat. doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark just screwed it then a small block of wood under each side of the rung,and it holds my weight,you do need blocks or a spindle of some sorts to stiffen them up.
