A10 seat

[Keith R]

Morning All,

I am looking to replace the duel seat on my 1959 A10, Gold Flash, (swinging arm).  However, I am uncertain which part number would be the correct fit.

I have seen a couple of options regarding the design of the seat pan, one is standard and just has regular fixing holes, and the other seems to have the facility to incorporate rubber blocks which I guess make contact with the frame at some point.

Any guidance as to what one I should be looking for would be appreciated.

Regards

Thanks for the advice.

I did contact Leightons who advised that they no longer supply pattern pans for BSA's (due to supply issues), but still do offer a full recovering service.

have a look for anyone who sells the Wassell seats.

My father had a leightons seat on one A10 and a Wassell one on the other, Im not normally an advocate of anything branded wassell the Wassell one fit without needing an bespoke bracket made (this was for a 1959 bike) and was much more comfortable, didn't look quite as fancy with having the plain vinyl cover instead of the crazed texture which the leightons has but it was a better seat.

Leightons bought their pans from P+P (same company who Burton Bike Bits bought their seats off), P+P closed down some weeks ago.
