Well, what's going on here. Here's a pic of my brand new (1978) 400N, and it's a rubbish picture but the seat seems to fit ok over the panels as far as I can tell (and remember).  However, my latest 400NB doesn't fit so well (sorry no pic at present) but it does have an aftermarket seat with a plastic pan. Maybe the seats shrink after they've been out in the rain a bit  |

Ian you have opened a can of worms here All mine is totally original and it doesn't fit It really is a bag of worms! Interestingly, Pete's seat looks similar to mine in that the bead doesn't follow the contour of the pan as it curves round the side panel, it's tucked under with the excess, as if the cover is a bit big or the pan a bit small in that area. In Bodie's pic, his bead stays on the edge of the seat pan. Maybe they do shrink in the rain  . I'll see if I can weld a bit extra on the seat pan over the winter & hopefully the existing cover can be re-used as it's in good condition. I've got a Silver's replica seat on my 400NA & that fits fine. Bought mine about 12 years ago, so maybe they have a different supplier now - the price has doubled since then as well! |
