Fossie had some fibreglass bases made up and then Steavea (the seat expert) did a seat re-upholster job for me. I Think the bases were about £80........and the recover about £70.......but that was a few years ago!
Good seats do pop up on ebay quite regular.........
Without appearing to gloat.........I even managed to snaffle a brand spankin new seat a couple of years back on ebay.
But sorry to say its not for sale!

No probs.
Im happy to help!
If you become a full member of the KOC Im sure we can help out.........
looks like you have the Kat Bug anyways, you just need to give into it and admit...........That you are a Kat fan!
But there is no known cure! But with regular involment with like minded Kat fans you can keep the symptoms under control..........
If not you can end up like callyboy................and turn mad!

We have 1 complete seat left and Bobster is quite close with his costings , We advertised it at Stafford for £180, but it would be £160 to a club member. Post extra but it dosen't matter because you will collect it in person from Our rally in April up here in Manchester, wont you?
Other than that German ebay.
By the way it is a Europe model you want isn't it not a jap import , the seats are different.
Oh and hi /welcome ,I hope your not painting the brakes
red!!!!! aaaagh , mummble mummble.
Orange aaaaaaaah and breath .

I have 2 pictures of the seat.
you will notice the strap is not fitted but will be supplied, you'll need the mounts from your seat. Not all markets had straps.
I would also add , we would appreciate your old locking plate as these were part of seat and need to be fitted before covering. So if we have spares we can make up seats complete.
