[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 2733, member: 109"] [b]Just the job, I'm off to Maplins in the morning[/b] Hi Neil, Great thanks - I've checked stock level in my local Maplins and they have 4 so I'm off there in the morning. Any tips of fitting it - I would imagine that I need to cut a slot in the base of the seat for it to rotate the lock arm into? Using a suitably sized drill and drilling a row of holes would come to mind as the best best. How do you go about marking the location for the hole in the seat base? I'd guess as marking the tip of the lock arm with a marker pen and then rotating the lock in both directions to get the two ends of the slot marked on the seat base, then drill away? I don't have an original tool tray, so no problems in my mind about drilling a hole in a homemade tray to suit. Many thanks again Neil. Forum to the rescue once again..... Stuart [/QUOTE]
