I have all of the fabric and welting to sew my seat and have the seat springs and bottom ready.  These pictures  are from the inside of the original  cream colored seat cover.

I have been working pretty diligently on my scooter.   The motor mount and kicker bushing are back in place.  Also the lower rear fender mount.  All of these had been previously removed before I got it. I found the correct flattened expanded metal for fresh air intake in front of the engine.  I have all the parts gathered that will be black and hopefully all will be painted this week.

The seat has been sewn!  Big thanks to my Mom!  She is visiting from Georgia so I had the opportunity to have her sew it for me.  Kind of tricky with the welting..  Now I can staple it on to the seat bottom and finish it up.

So I took Monday off to do some work on the scooter.  I will be taking the side covers, fenders and tank to the powder coaters.  I have a small crease in my tank that probably isn't a 1/16" deep. Powder coater says to use Lab Metal as it can withstand the heat of the oven when he bakes the parts. Even says right on the can!.
