Well my new deluxe seat arrived at 1230 today and it was installed by 1500, I think that must almost be a record, having ached over the possibility that i would spend days trying to get it to fit, it went on almost without a hitch.
It did take me a while to line up the bolts and i eventually went back to the originals and looking at both types, the originals have a touch more thread on them, may be able to change them later once everything beds in.
So what did i do:
Read all the hints on the forum
Removed the old seat
Marked the bolt holes with painters tape
Tapped and died the bolts and holes, this made a big difference
Started all the bolts
Checked that the panniers opened
then put the rails on
Checked that the panniers opened again
tightened all bolts fairly tight, i will keep tightening them as the seat beds in
Now i've got to wait 3 days as my driveway has just been concreted, oh well i can still sit on it.
