I may have a customer interested in a bike seat.
Currently he is looking around to give himself ideas of what he might want.
Now, this is similar to the bike seat in question.

I don't know what his actual model is, But it's fairly plain shaped.
His first issue is that it is uncomfortable. I would need a better foam, or additional layer of foam on top of his shaped foam???
Recommendation for buying?
Second issue, it's a fairly plain bike in reality, I want to offer something just to dress it up a little, now my tooling is pretty indecent so I won't be offering that, I may pop in tomorrow and ask someone else to tool for me though...
I can probably just get him to pay for lacing the edges nice.
I am worried about a few things,
Not having the tools to pull this off
I don't mind spending his money and taking no drawings for tools so whats my basic outlay. I am guessing, dremel or drill, rivets, rivet machine thingy (whats that called?) Sharp knife for foam cutting I can handle...I have looked through the tutorials
I know I am better going for 10oz perhaps 8oz to stay in his budget....
This is the way I would go about charging
Leather costs including lace, £50 not including post, by jt bachelors, 3.5mm shoulder...That would do right?
Time involved
Tools (let me know) (I can borrow a dremel short term)
I will be looking through this section of the forum to try and answer my own questions but I wanted to get in here too cause you guys know better than I what I might not know what to look for...
Thanks a million guys.
