Well, mould looks good and they popped out a trial seat for me yesterday.
Heres the difference in the seats, one a standard seat with cut foam, the other "the seat".
Back brackets are a duplicate of the original design but in aluminium, so key works just the same.
The bar in the picture is shown fitted at the front where the original seat bolts fitted. Irt's just a 10mm bar threaded each end and necked down where the tank hinges.
Looks a bit flimsy but the seat is supported at the extreme ends , so no bending. Just need to cut slots in these to replicate the nylon parts of the original seat (at the back)
Now I have to resin all the bits together and have a trial fit. Clean edges and bingo.
So fitting will require the normal allen ky for the seat, then re-use those screws to fix the bar in. Then slide the seat on to the bar and push down like the normal hump does at the back.
