854 seat back bracket pics with measurements

@Allen2265 requested the measurements for a seat back brace bracket so I figured I would share with the group.

 

Here's an assortment of pics.

Anyone know if these are spring steel or just plate stock bent up?

I'm only guessing Kev but I'd say that's plate.

 

I really can't see a good reason for that to be spring steel.

 

 

I forgot to measure the thickness. Whatever it was, I would go one step thicker.

I’d guess 1/4”?  Just wondering if they can be reproduced easily...

I'll check the thick-osity later...

I’ve been accused of being that before!

On the highly accurate carbon fiber composite digital caliper the thick-ocity measures .21

 

I don't know what gauge that is but obviously halfway between 3/16 and 1/4. Cases like this I would always go on the heavier side.

I’m not sure of the material, but I have one from another make that I wanted to bend slightly to make it more comfortable and I quickly found that I had to score it with a grinder before it would start to bend and then weld it back up.  It was very tough material.  I remember thinking it had to be some sort of spring steel.
