  • Seat Bolts & Long Heavy Nut Set Anyone?

    I am looking for the bolts ( I have one) that go through the seat bracket, and the (14mm?) heavy nuts set. Not sure if all seats use same bolt/nut set, but have 79F. Thanks--Mark D.

      If someone has one that is great. I basically made one for one of my seats. I took a piece of 16 gauge metal and cut the plate that goes under the bracket that bolts to the seat. Really just a piece with the sides folded up, almost the same length as the bracket is wide. Drill a hole in the center and use some JB weld to cement your bolt in place. You can buy the long nut at most decent hardware stores.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        O. Red-- sounds good, DG, I sort of got my seat on using an idea similar to yours, but I guess I want the regular equipment if available. Something about OEM stuff, I guess, even though my mufflers will never qualify.

                Thanks to The Other Earl, I now need only just one of the (14mm) heavy nuts. I will be set then. Thanks--

                  Just a bump to see if there's one more 14mm seat nut out there, thanks.
