Hi Andy, yes that would be great !
I see on the post for the ASI 500 International meet, Clem has mentioned you might be stopping over at his place. I only live a few miles away from there, so could collect & put cash in your hand if you like ?? Save buggering about with post & packing !!
Regards, Andy G
 
It is not so difficult to build such a seat.
For mine I used such a rough part (for SFC) that you can buy in italy on every "mostra scambio" as a base. I bent an aluminium plate and put it on the frame in front of the seat( with a 2mm rubber distance to the frame for both) and put on the fiberglas. Then I closed the seat on th bottom and put in the hole on the top. Finaly i put on the foam and sewed the cover.

As it happens I did chuck a spare 500 seat unit into van, so I will have a think about your suggestion.

Hi, thanks for the reply & pics. I can get a short SFC seat to modify here in the UK from Ragged Edge Racing if I can't find a genuine one.

Cheers, Andy.

Hi Andy, as an alternative consideration, I don't mind getting a seat copied by a a local fibreglass mouldings company. Have found 4 companies not too far from me who do one off's & small batches.
Can send them some photos of Monty seat unit & get a quote ?? Would just need some dimensions, or an actual seat to get it laser scanned.
Can ask for cost of 1, 2, 4, or 6 units to see how it works out price wise ??
Regards, Andy G
 
Not sure if you have sorted the seat issue yet. I have a mk1 Monty seat unit in good condition, with nice black vinyl trim and slightly scruffy paint.
You are welcome to it.
Collection only I,m afraid. I'm in Kent.
Kind regards,
Paul.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Can you send a few photos ? And what sort of price did you have in mind ?
Whereabouts in Kent are you ?
Regards, Andy.
 
Hello Andy,
It's a nice seat unit, premium weave, nice black vinyl trim & studded flap. Don't think it's the original as the rear light aperture is smaller. The paint is Ok and fine to use as is. Basically the same as Italmot25 1st pic above. It was fitted with a correct Monty tank.
My phone is a £4.99 job from Tescos 20 years ago so unable to send pics and I only have access to a computer at weekends whilst at work.
I'm in Rochester so not far from you.
It's free if you need it.

Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Paul, thanks for the generous offer.
Yes, Rochester is almost local ! Have done a fair bit of lorry driving over that way.
If you txt me on 07910 850797 ( anytime ), just let me know good time to call & I'll be in touch so we can arrange collection.
Cheers, Andy

It will take me 1/2 hour to do a text and then I will probably delete prior to sending. I'll just send my number. I don't carry my phone either so may take a few hrs to respond.
I'm available Mon - Thurs inc, 1400 - 1900hrs, but no rush on my part. Just let me know a day in advance.

Kind regards,
Paul.
