  16. HI The two brackets where spot welded by 5 welds each on my (very) rusty seat. I suggest the old rivet holes would be about the right place to re weld ? :-)

    Tigers

    Blimey Ron ...It must be cold in the garage...Velo gear changes and now Tigers ????? Where are you going to put one ??? Don't tell me.... you have acquired more of the neighbours gardens !!!! Andy :-)
  18. DO NOT DRILL OUT THE TWO PEGS HOLDING THE GEAR LEVER INTO THE GEAR BOX TOP OVER .......there is no need to do this......the spherical tin shield is held in place with a bayonet fitting type arrangement......the tin shield will press down( there is a spring under the tin shield) and rotate and come out like a light bayonet light bulb fitting !!!!!!! Regards Andy
  19. Hi Danny ...All I can add is that my passenger seat has same " Z " brackets to mount to the floor but is welded to the seat base so you only have to do up the one set off bolts into the floor. The holes in the seat base should line up with these to allow you to tightened them with a socket and bar through the seat base . Hope this is of use.
  20. I could do with some of those press studs as well ,so would be interested to know...Ron Pier got any suggestions? :-) Andy B
