IN Gauging Interest - 69-72 Cab Floor Bucket Seat Brace

[Old_Truck_Fan]

I have been working on reproducing the hard to find 69-72 cab floor bucket seat brace for my own project vehicle. I liked the idea of working with new metal and have enjoyed the metalworking challenge. I still have a few more details to work out before I am happy with the part. See pictures next to an original brace below. I figured there may be others who could use this item for their own builds and would also like working with new metal rather than a rusty original. This part is hand formed not stamped so cost would be in the $250 range. I would leave out the holes for the weld nuts so you could add them after the brace is welded in which is what I plan to do. The material is cold rolled steel. The thickness I'm currently using is 18 gauge (0.048 inch), but I plan to go with 16 gauge (0.0598 inch) for the final run. The original brace I have measures about 0.054 inch. If enough folks are interested, I'd consider making a handful of them. Let me know if you would be interested in this item or if you have any thoughts or improvements I could make based on the pictures. Looking forward to your feedback.
