The Ricambi seat mould is taken from a race seat,so there isnt access to the underseat area (unless you cut a hole out),on the plus side,it helps to produce a stronger seat.

To use the Strada seat pad,a section is cut out of the seat unit.

The seat pad then fits as per a Strada,your body weight is on the frame not the seat unit.Once the seat is bolted on,its impossible to remove the pad.The fixings have to be removed which allows the front wings/side panels to move apart,seat pad can then be removed.

Two brackets(mounting holes already there) hold the unit at the required height/postion,rubber washers keep the vibrations at bay.I welded a nut under the bracket,seat then bolts on

Foam keeps the vibrations down at the back edge.
