Starter is Alton from France , it's aftermarket .starts ok now but had a few issues, now solved but took months from France, but that's the French for you.
No it's not a loose thread, the seat is actually quite well made for American gear ;) ;)
It is removable with a lock
Billet control panel is opposite earth to the UK but I adapted it quite easily although Colorado said it could not be done.
