Man hurry up I'm impatient and stoked about these mounts. Can't wait. Really glad you made these.

Well I brought some important stuff to test with so as long as everything mounts up well we are good to go.
 
Here it is mounted in the truck. So, my hopes and dreams about having the top mount have been ultimately dashed. The entire top panel will be eliminated to allow the seat ANY kind of forward movement. I know a few of you already suggested it but dammit! I wanted what I wanted. :(

The issue is the F.E. Can't go lower due to the nozzle. It can't go towards the seat or else you can move the seat. So where it is now is the best compromise for the masses.

Looks good, keep up the great work!

Engineering by the masses doesn't always produce the best product. Remember 1/2 of the masses are below average intellect :flipoff2:

You are overly gracious with your estimate :flipoff2:

But yeah, this is in a good place. I'm stoked. Small sacrifice but it's ok because I'm just going to move my little idea to another spot :P
 
As a fabrication suggestion in the flat pattern, you may want to put in a 3/16" dia or 1/4" dia relief hole right at the point where the two brake lines intersect. That will give a cleaner brake and they can line them up better so you get a clean corner to corner fit. See my example below.

So here is the end (driver's door side) showing the knock-outs and the waterproof switch I'm making available. I was just going to have the switch and then just let you guys run with it. Well, you could, run with it. Run your own wire, connectors, blah. Source it all and wait then assemble it. But I got to thinking, I think I like it this way much betterer :flipoff2:

Same waterproof switch but this time wired up through a Metri-Pack disconnect and all wiring is ready to go. :hmm:
 
Looks great Joey!
 
Very nice design and workmanship. It's great to see someone going to great lengths to ensure a quality product. One small suggestion on the design. The sharp bend (>270 degress) of the strip that attaches to the seat mounting bolts could fatigue crack over time if there is any movement. I would look at a way perhaps to secure that strip to the side wing. Keep up the good work and good luck with your business venture.

There are two weldment tabs on either side. I haven't welded them together yet because I wanted to start playing with it :D

All of the production run units will be welded in those four spots.
