Montjuic Seat Fastening

I'm sure I've seen something on here before but can't find the thread. Can some kind sole please advise how a MK1 Montjuic seat is secured? I can see from pictures that the seat is screwed at the back but I'm not sure about the front.

In a similar vein, the standard Alpino frame has 2 lugs for the seat hinges. Are these left or ground off?

Thanks again
 
Bent piece of metal is bolted to the front of the seat base.
Slater had them in stock when I needed one a couple of years ago so may still have them.
It just hooks under the frame, and as you say the rear of the seat is bolted in place.

 
As well as the front securing: Make a frame for the back out of aluminium strip (3mm or 5mm width for me) (from B&Q). Bend it into a shape that resembles the back of the moulding. Drill holes at the base where the bolts go through. Wrap the top of the frame that you bent with pipe insulation... and fit the moulding over. I find it keeps the fibreglass moulding more supported... Anyhow the fibreglass cracks and crinkles around the bolts eventually - but at least this looks authentic then...
