ali seats
 
has anyone done them yet?
had a quick search but to no avail.
i have made a better net than the one in the book from card:o . at least a moor ergonomic net:) , but i can not make a decision on the thickness of aluminum to use?
are there any rules to adhere to? bare the head restraint and correctly positioned harness holes.

Thaye do look cool. Apear to be in ither .100 or .125 of an inch and grade 5052 ally. My boss thought 3mm and did not mention a hardness. Any other thoughts?
