Timbob's Awsome KH seat

Okay so now, since i started this morning, i have drilled all of the
holes and filed one of them so the carraige bolts will fit correctly.
So now im halfway to finishing the bumper. 1/9th of the way there!

So im 1/3 of the way done. Im starting on the handle part. Its going
alot faster than i thought. My brother made one and his took a very
long time. So i have six more to go in 1 hour and 45 min. I might
make it!

😄 Im not rushing( although i dont have much time) its just easier if
you file fast so that it files smoothly. Well im 5/9ths there almost
done with the handle but i probably wont finish today since i still
need four or six washers for the seatpost and handle but ill get as far
as i can.

Really appreciate the progress photos. Considering your time deadline,
if you didn't stop to photograph and post to the forum, you'd be done
by now and had plenty of time to test it out.

I kind of knew that i wouldnt be finished before i had to go to work and
i would rather take the time to show my work( it doesnt take that long
anyways)

Any way i foud out that i made a very horrible error while ordering the
bolts. I was going to buy for my friend his bolts for a miyata style
and so had 9 bolts in my head and so i bought 9 of them just before i
left for work i noticed that i dont have a miyata and never have. Its
pretty much the dumbest mistake ever. So i need to go to the store
again tomorrow and get one bolt and one nut and 6 washers. So with my
corrections i am now 6/10ths of the way done. Since my brothers are
still awake i will start on the seatpost holes now.

so timbob and I have been in disagreement. after drilling the holes are
you supposed to file the holes to be square or just pound the carraige
bolts in?

Looks good. Keep in mind that filing a hole square can actually move
the hole a little bit. You want to make sure that you don't
accidentally move a hole so far that it no longer fits the seatpost.

Best way to proceed is to file one hole square. Put all four bolts in
and make sure they still line up with the holes in the seatpost. File
the next hole square. Put all four bolts back in and make sure they
still line up with the holes in the seatpost. Repeat for the remaining
holes doing one hole at a time.

If the holes aren't lining up you can take advantage of the fact that
you can move the holes while filing them square. If things are further
off you can turn the square into a rectangle and still be all good.
You only need two or three sides of the square (or rectangle) to be
flat and in contact with the shoulders of the carriage bolt to keep the
bolt from spinning. So there is actually plenty of fudge room if the
holes drift a little bit off while filing them. It's no big deal. I
had to make a couple of rectangular holes (slots) in my CF seat to keep
the seatpost holes lined up with the seatpost.

This is a good tip which I may need to use. I bought my CF base and
paid the vender to pre-drill and pre-file. Well, the pre-drilling was
off, almost so much that I couldn't assemble the thing. If I ever take
it apart again, which I will, I'll try this method of fudging.

Thanks. Yeah im filing one at a time and then making sure they still
line up. If one hole needs moving i file that direction first and
while filing i check to make sure im not drifting. The handle and
bumper fit so far although it was extremely hard to take off the handle
afterwards.

So im now 8/10ths of the way there. Its going pretty good but i need
to go to the store to get the washers and last bolt and nut.:p
Heres the pic so far i need to go get the stuff now.

Well that took a while but now i have all the bolts, nuts and washers i
will need. I bought 1/4 diameter and 3/4 length but they might not be
long enough so i also bought 1 inch long ones. now i will file the last
two holes and then i can put it together.

Im using the KH street foam. It was pretty easy to get off because
after a while the adhesive starts to weaken if you do seat out alot.
Basically i just took some sissors to cut the tape where the tape was
molded with the foam.

So i just have one hole to go and then i can build it!
