tail section of Mark V Le Mans.
...is mostly done now. I have to construct a couple of front mounting points, although the idea of retaining a simple leather strap across the seat as per the original holds some appeal.
...the front section needs to be cut down but i want to show my upholsterer tomorrow what im intending to do so he can lead the way....
...im happy with the convex depression i put in the centre to match the imola tank and the small radiuses and angles worked pretty well in connecting it visually with the tank.

hey TP, dont know what happened but i approved your comments and some others and they dissappeared......
but the answer is no....if id used 2.4mm alloy i would have, but i used 1.6mm for this section, its pretty tight in those radiuses. I usually push the penetration as hard as i can and i make a double pass over all my original tacks and i find with the tig instead of oxy if i stitch it really wide it holds beautifully. have you had problems with stuff like this fracturing?
