Junilee seat space

What part are you talking about? You cannot paste a picture into this box - instead save it on you computer & 'Browse' to it using the button below the text box to attach it.

Alternatively, you can use the 'picture' icon above (between " and the paper clip) the text box, to search for your picture and add it into the text box. Most complex, sadly.

Hi John - here is the seat mounting you were trying to show. OK, now I know where to start.

There are 3 types of seat fastening for the Lightweight models (All use 2 prongs at the front into rubber bushes):

1) 1959/60. The shock absorber bolt had an extension inwards, like a long thin cotton reel (P.No 21298). The brackets at the bottom of the seat were long, with a slot to ride over the cotton reel, plus an 'L' shaped bracket to which a 'Terry' clip (P.No 21183) was attached, that clipped over the 'cotton reel'. You could simply lift the seat to access the toolkit & oil Filler. All Jubilees of this age were D/Lux style (faired in rear wheel), but were not called that.

2) 1960-on, D/Lux models. New name for the Faired-in version, both Jubilee & Navigator. These had an inverted 'L' coming up from the frame (above the shock absorber) with a hole on the flat face. The seat base had a mating 'L' shape bracket with a prong pointing downwards that matched the hole (& a rubber cushion, no doubt). In 1961 (or so), the seat gained a tab at the rear, and was fixed in place by a quarter-turn (Dzus) fastener.

3) 1961-on, Standard (or sometimes called Sport) 'naked' models introduced with oil tank on the side and small wrap-around styling panels behind the carburettor. These employed a different mounting system again. This time, a long stud (P.No 22572) passed through the shock absorber AND mudguard, with a spacer in 2 pieces in between. Your picture above is one part (the longer) of this spacer - 2 off required and you also need 2 off  the shorter spacer (P. No 23162). The seat bracket was long enough (with a slightly forward facing slot) to sit between (and be clamped by) the two spacers. The long one was inboard, and the two spacers were chamfered to enable the seat to bed down and be clamped.

Seat style (3) was then also used on the Electra.

Are you clearer which type of seat/mounting you are after? I can supply more photos for you then.

The terry clip base has a hole for bolting to the bracket.

John - here is the shocker mounting bolt and Terry clip, as sold by spares:

The bolt passes through the top shocker mount from the inside, and the clip fastens on to the 'cotton reel' - see picture attached of my (rough) 1959 seat base

Hi, Can anyone tell me the length of the spacers 23162 and 23163. My bike has only one spacer 1.5" long.

Thanks,

Stan

Hi Stanley,

Just looked on the NOC shop and the correct items, in stainless, are in stock. Bargain prices.

I have a lathe and just to buy the bar would leave me out of pocket against these purchases.

Suggest you bite the bullet and buy these spacers, then you don't have to worry about the correct length, diameter, chamfer details and hole size.

Sorry I can't help with all these dimensions. The chamfer is really important for when you fit the seat between short and long spacers.
