GRP seat fixing
AvonZX9R - 4/1/11 at 07:28 PM

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice with regard to fixing grp seats to the floor. I have a Tiger Avon and the seats have the usual 8mm fixings bonded in. I have test fitted them and they need to be angled up meaning that that the fixings need to be higher at the front. What is the best way to do this (the Avon has two bolts to fix the seats to)?

This is what I did if you can make it out. Stainless box and SS 2.5mm plate cos i had it hanging about.

I used the coach bolts to bolt the brackets to the seat and level it as I wanted then tacked the brackets to the box, dismatled them and welded them up. Worked well. One word of caution though if your seats are like mine, the front mounts are at different heights left/right so your front brackets need to be different or welded on at different heights if it makes sense.
