Post by Robbiedobbie »

Hi, I'd like to be able to remove the seat on my 3AJ more easily, ie don't want to use a spanner every time.. What mods are there to do this? :ears:

Your little smiley face with the big ears reminds me of one solution: wingnuts
I collect number plates. Let me know if you have any you think I might like.

Hi

On my 2003 model i replaced the standard bolts with ones with a knurled end. No spanner needed now. Dont know if your seat is fastened the same way? I can post a picture if required?

Very easy to remove now...............................Although if I come back one day and find my seat gone I may regret it........
