Talking 748r Seat Conversion - Expertise & Wisdom Required

Hi world

Looking for advice, preferably someone to walk-me through the conversion process to change my Monoposto into a BP Dual Seater.

Missus wasn't very happy when I said that the rear sub-frame was Ally as opposed to steel, therefore it couldn't take the weight. The condition of the buy was that she can have a go (rear pillion)... it made matters worse in the previous year when I bought her a set of leathers for her 30th - not good (not that the 30th present went down well anyway). My brownie points are quickly dissapating here - help!

So... I have to date purchased the following:

* rear BP subframe
* BP seat (no lights)

Appreciate if someone can advise if I need anything else? Looking to position myself to swap the seat in an instant, as opposed to spending ages exchanging seats.

* Unsure whether to buy the indicator rear lights as shown on flea-bay.
* Also I know that I need to buy a seat hinge

I did however, lift the rear seat and was surprised to see a mass of gadgetry...a little different to what was under my previous BP. Something tells me that a re-shuffle is required under here.

Any help or advice is grately appreciated.

Thanks

Ash
