Hi All, 
I've been lurking on this site for a month or so now while I've been working on my carving and lacing skills.  I am now ready to tackle building a seat and I need some advice on the pan I'm using from some of the pro's here.  I am making a large solo seat for my roadstar and the stock pan is made of 1/4" or so hard ABS plastic. The "pleather" cover was attached to it using staples but I want to rivet the new cover on.  The question is can I use the stock pan or should I have a metal one fabricated for riveting.  I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions as I work through this and will post pics on my journey.   I appreciate all the help I can get.  Thanks
