With the kid at school (yahoo!) and the wife out shopping, the barn beckoned. This morning I decided to fix the extra ventilation in my seat pans.

Metal tabs were cut out with just enough area to cover the holes.

Once welded on, they made a great platfrom for the reattachment of the the seat frame.The seat mount was used as a "jig" to ensure the rails would fit.

The end result - not pretty, but it worked.
