Slimline seat fastening

I don't know yet, but I need to find out. I am getting my 1963 650SS on the road after 45 years in various sheds.

I am in Chelmsford, Essex. Is there anyone local who has a Slimline Featherbed that I can have a look at? I want to see what the mountings are for the seat, oil tank and battery box. No doubt there will be other features that I need to check.

When I bought the bike it had been vandalised into a Dunstall clone, very fashionable at the time, so all the tin ware was missing and replaced by pseudo racing stuff.

Local means anywhere closer than Birmingham, I suppose. I have listed all the bits of rubber and threaded fasteners from the parts list. Andover can supply about half, quite good really since most of their stock is Commandos. I have ordered what they have. I am waiting for a response from the NOC spares and Staffordshire. Amusingly, I called Russell Motors in Battersea. They referred me to Fair Spares!

Hope this helps. Will post another couple of pics separately because of file size.

Hopefully one of the usual suppliers will have the correct parts. They were made in a variety of length's and should come with spring and circlip . Aircraft used them to secure access panels so that may give another source . There were lots of different types ,Finding the correct ones for the DL sidepanels was a problem. I don't think they are still in production.
