Ron Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Today I've been working on a Dunlop saddle that I acquired last week for one of my WD C10's. For starters, the original frame was too big in both directions, so I did some cutting, forming, welding. My nice Dunlop badge that I've been looking after for a few years went on with copper rivets, then the ally rivets for the rubber cover. I used an old 1/4" clutch push rod, ground a point on it and heated it red hot to burn the holes through. Drilling doesn't work!! I then formed and drilled the mounting plates that attach to the springs ........Fettling and Fitting tomorrow hopefully. Ron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 I've fitted the new rubber saddle to my KC10 and moved the one that was on it over to my WC10. After much research and studying pictures and parts lists I have fitted the KC10 saddle in a much lower position than the WC10.....With its nose tucked into the tank recess. The difference between them in height is about 2". I'm really chuffed with the outcome. Ron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfleasteve Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Great job Ron, both saddles look really good! I am yet to restart my KC10 resto, I have the original dunlop saddle but it’s seen better days...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M20 Rob Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hi Ron, I know it's been some time but where did you get the saddle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hello Rob At least one of my Rubber saddles came from the late John Budgen. But I know who has the last of his stock of rubber saddles. PM me for details. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
