Currently I have , I reckon, a bantam seat on my C15.
Whilst the front bracket fits and the shape of the seat base goes nicely outside the top frame , the front bracket pushes the seat back a bit.
I'd like to get/find the correct base with the correct shape front bracket , but I've seen different shape front brackets and it's difficult to know what it should be.
I've seen brackets with forward slots and upright slots etc
Thank you
Hi Richard,
If you have the Rupert Ration book 2 there's a whole section on seats.
I don't think a standard Bantam seat will fit, the front bracket is ok (if memory serves RR says the pan is the same pressing) but the rear fixing is too far back, the captive bolts being in the wrong place for a C15.
I am confident that the seat that came with my C15 project is an original pre 1965 C15 seat with the original welded on bracket. Picture of the bracket attached.
I think one of the key points is that when this is mounted on the frame, the seat mounting pin is sitting two or three inches back from the front of the seat base.
Perfect , many thanks
