You're right - I don't have acces to a aluminium welding machine - and I 
like to be able to do as much as possible in my garage. My first recumbent 
waited 3 months for the welder to finish the seat, so I have good reason to 
compromise.

I made another adult size seat with all the tabs bended inwards with no 
problems. It is a bit more "visually appealing" :

The cushion is warm, but I originally made this seat mostly for winter use, 
and I wanted it to be as weatherproof as possible (ever sat down in a 
hardshell seat with filterfoam full of water - frosen or liqud? :-)

My summer recumbent features filter foam (and big vents is planned)
