[QUOTE="Phil Mahood, post: 20960, member: 71"] Can anyone help with some questions on D seats. I’m finishing up a Prince project. The after-market seat supplied was purchased many decades ago. It seems to be all wrong. See the attached photo. [ATTACH]838.vB[/ATTACH] To start with, it is almost 2” too short. It measures 20 ¼” from the back of the seat pan to the front mounting point for the hinge. When mounted, there is a huge gap from the back of the seat to the rear enclosure hump. Further, the shape of the pan is all wrong. Instead of the original curved pan, the recess is formed by creased folds running the length of the sheet metal. This shape does allow the seat to sit down on the enclosure. It fouls the curved section of the glass formed to clear the rear tyre. Perhaps this seat was for an open model? Can any enclosed owner out there help me with a measurement of an original seat? Oh, and before I start building one from scratch, does anyone know a reliable source for an entire seat, or just the pan? Alas. VOCSC does not currently list the item. All help and insight greatly appreciated. Cheers, Phil Mahood [/QUOTE]
