Lambretta seats.........

Hi Guys,

I'm looking at buying an early 60's Eibar (Spanish) Lambretta, however the only thing putting me off are the two single seats that are currently fitted. Is it easy enough to convert it to a double Acillotti style seat, if so, are there any suppliers that supply a conversion kit? (website links would be great) Or is there such a thing as a bolt on seat with access for the fuel cap?

Thanks in advance.

Scotty :twisted:

Cool, no hinges, brackets, clips etc required then, so it's just a matter of unbolting one and bolting on the replacement!?!?

I have 2 saddles on my Winter Model and they are a damn site more comfy than any bench seat Ive ever had. (Granted though - Im not much for the Tartan theme!)

My knees and 'vibration white fingers' give up and need a break long before my @r$e does!!

yes you unbolt the 2 saddles then bolt on the seat form inside toolbox and fit the locking catch where the rear saddle is and seat will lift on hinged bracket at front to fill up with petrol.
