single seat unit advice

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by kev cornwall, Nov 4, 2012.

  1. hi, purchased a single seat unit (wont let me post a picture) to fit on my 996, it has cut outs for rear tail lights etc but the is no fitting on the tail unit to fit rear seat catch & rear light unit? do i have to make something to fit it, obviously i dont want to drill any holes etc, the only fitment is the front hinge attachment, any advice appreciated, ta kev
     
  2. if you dont want to drill holes then you can make a mounting plate with countersunk thereaded posts bolted through it.

    this plate is then glued inside the seat unit using fibre glass filler strip

    wil try take a pic later to show you what i mean
