Inside isn't as tidy...........

I chose this one as it has an undertray.............

Image

the new seat wouldn't fit, as expected, without some minor surgery to the frame. First to go - the rear frame loop..........

Image

Image

then the cross brace...............

Image

and - oh the irony of it - the seat mounting brackets..........

Image

even then, it didn't "sit" right, so time for some major surgery.............

Not Bad Condition at all.
