Post by: thunderboltandlightfoot on 07 Feb, 2025, 08:54
Hi , Looking for a seat base or complete seat for A65 1968 for completion of my rebuild .the seat base I have seems to have been altered and and not to a good standard I have tried on one of the BSA sights but immediately found a scammer and was glad to have paypal intervene ,a close call.
                                                thanks.

I bought a new pattern one online for less than £150.
Not made in the UK (probably Taiwan), and no, it's not as good as an original BSA one.
A nit picker will probably spot it at a hundred paces,
