Hi all
Does anyone know if you can still get the seat rail fixings number 17 in the picture
it's a 450mm plate with a m8 rivnut fitted one end and it then rivets to the under side of the seat box
so you can fasten your seat it.

failing that I will make some )

I've done a bit of a search mate, as I'm sure you have. Mainly come up with an M8 rivnut
Nearest I can find is this LINKY But, at that price, I would make my own. Have you got any M8 rivnuts? I've inadvertently bought some this week that I don't need. I could post you some.
I suppose the nut plate above you could cut in half and end up with two!

You don't fancy cutting that one in two?

Are you sure they are 450mm long mate, or is that a typo and meant to be 45mm?
If it helps I've got an old seatbox in the garden, I can have a look to see if they are still on that and stick them in the post to you if so.
