Following on from the seat mount saga, I measured up the mounts and set out a plan for adapting them to fit, having checked this with the TA Scrutineer first.

The right hand rail needed to move outboard by 30mm to allow space for the seat to fit in there so some changes were needed:

Even more grinding:

And then some welding and the finished result is awesome 8)

The rear mount moved from the angle to directly below the rail:

Thanks mate - I owe you another one :thumb:

the mounts fitted perfectly as they were but the gap between the rails could only be stretched to 410mm. The seat base (because i got the excel version) was 440 mm wide so would not fit in the gap.

Tried reversing the mounts, tried all kinds of things but would not fit, hence today's solution.

This will fit a treat.

Nope. Just a sizing issue.

The wide one is fine - sat in stu's before hand and it give extra height too which is useful. I was hoping that my wife would fit in it too so she could still drive it. But anyway, seat is bought and I am happy that this will work now.
