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! :lol:

But there is no known cure! But with regular involment with like minded Kat fans you can keep the symptoms under control.......... :D

If not you can end up like callyboy................and turn mad! :lol:

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 .

Just used to see one parked there a lot & there's not many Kats arround the area, but seems to be increasing, we have another Kat owner in that area & im not far away, I'm sure if you join up we can get you fixed up with a seat :)

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.
