Default most complicated seat brackets in the world

Thought you guys would find this kind of cool. Im going to be running a kirkie aluminum race bucket in my fox, and had trouble finding a good bracket for them (first ones were WAY to flimsey)
So then i went with these over the top, seat brackets
took me a couple of days to cut everything to size, and then i had to learn how to tig one these, which i think turned out pretty well!











then half painted (i used por15 which actually turned out GREAT, and am re-doing the whole cage like this)
