Certainly look to be 3D printed bases in that kit.

Here’s a thought; could you use the BRP LinQ Fasteners with the WES Industries 2UP seat in the same way? I’ve seen videos of people using them as extra locating points for the large trunk and other items without too much modification.

 

im not sure how that one would work to attach a seat with it. I did see anyglide also makes an anchor which is ideally exactly what I had in mind originally. (seen it previously but didnt think of it until now)

Only down fall... it seems like its only accessible in the USA. (20 USD each) ideally would need 4 ends up being 150-200 Canadian REAL quick lol. upside of these they could be multi use as i can also install eye bolts on them if I wanted to ratchet anything down to the racks. I havent had any luck finding any canadian suppliers sadly.

 

To get 4 shipped to Canada it will be around $128 CAD.Though they don't ship it direct to Canada from their website, they are available to Canada on Amazon. See link. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R5K3NCJ/ref=twister_B08R5W53V7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

 

Any chance of seeing some pics of where the attachment points are on the seat?

 

I know for the wes 2 up seat they have markings on the inside where you can drill the hole for the anchor bolt. crapy pic but all they really show

 

this is from their instruction page... another thing im not a HUGE fan off.... is that the knob to tighten the seat down is also plastic... not too hard to strip those out from my experience though it really depends on the type of plastic used.

 

From those pics I can’t see why the LinQ fasteners wouldn’t be an alternative QR and positive locating solution to it.

Obviously you’ll have to compare with what you actually have to hand.

 

For the linQ fasteners wouldn't i need to screw into the side of the seat for the fastener to hold it down? which then means i would need to make sure the 2up seat doesnt go over the edge of the rack where linQ fastener locks in? unless im missing something on how the fastener works

reason i wouldnt think it would work is because the 2 up seats i see online cover the rack entirely for the most part.

 

oh nice so it should work... id definitely have to buy a 2 up seat 1st and see the inside to make sure everything would fit / line up properly but yeah.. definitely a cheaper choice considering i can get those fasteners here easily.

 

I have the WES industry trunck and mounts. Definetly the mounts are not 3D printed, they have been cut out of a solid sheet. I have 3D printed mounts for mounting a gun case on the front, they work fine but I do not think I would trust them on a truck to hold the weight of a person.

 

ahh ok nice. hows the "surface area" that the top caps tighten down. the biggest thing that caught my eye was the way the seat is secured down with the plastic top caps. never had much luck with threaded plastic. in general

 

They caps have captured metal nuts so there is no issue tightening them down. I replaced the caps with regualr nuts with nylon inserts becasue the caps are rather tall and interfear with stuff in the trunk. May have also replaced the carrigae bolts with shorter ones so they just came through the trunck enough to catch a nut.

 

makes sense! dont know why i didnt think of just changing the top cap to something else if i didnt like it lol.
