Thanks Rich
Just wanted to double check before I get the grinder out! Why in the h*ll do
they press a new seat pan that will not fit within a new pressed surround, its
mad.
I spent aes as well making a template out of card to get the holes in the
right position for the studs (especially as the studs are not parallel and you
need the larger hole to get them aligned)
