Hey Rod,
A .pdf of the seat would be fantastic.  I was going to work backwards from my best seat but the more information the better.  I can't tell exactly what the bottom of the seat was supposed to look like they are that bad.

I have been doing some research on the stainless and I am leaning away from using it now.  Mostly because is seems that it likes to harden when it is bent.  I don't want to have a cracking seat in the future.  Do you think Aluminum would work?  I was worried it might not be strong enough. 

I have to get the calipers out and figure out what gauge of steel I need to buy, then off to the steel store some time next week.

Ross,
The next time I'm at my actual office (been lent to another engineering firm) I'll send you the PDF file.  In regards to the steel, I'm guessing it's 20 ga (.0359").  If I build mine in aluminium I'll probably go with 14 ga (.0641") 5xxx series, though it depends on cost.  I'm sure steel will be much cheaper.
