Thanks SidewaysFletch :D
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:
Small cardboad template made for the front mount hole:

Grinding:

More Grinding:

Even more grinding:

And then some welding and the finished result is awesome 8)
Showing the new front mounting hole 30 mm to the right of the original hole


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

Thanks mate - I owe you another one :thumb:
Cheers Jason

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.
