Spent time doing over the past few weeks, but really need the advice and tech behind howbits actually done now. Thanks for the suggestion though.
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.

A few pictures of how I mounted the seat made some brackets one for seat to locate to its a dual purpose one it holds the oil tank too but obviously yours won't .the other two were mounted on bottom of seat .then at back of seat 2 bolts were added to fasten seat to frame .we made two slots in frame so the seat could just sit on frame then slide forward .then fix down with the two bolts .hope the pictures make it easier to understand .it took a lot of head scratching to come up with this way of fixing seat down .but it does work really well .

These next two pictures show  how seat just sits on frame then just slides forward brackets on seat base locate to the bracket on frame which holds oil tank the the two bolts slide into the location slots .access to these bolts to fit nuts is gained underneath the frame .

Yozzer, that's fantastic detail, thanks. Just the kind of detail I'm looking for. Can only see it on my phone tonight, but will get a good look through tomorrow.

Thanks Mate, that's mint.  8)

When is the next instalment coming? I miss this thread not moving on. Has your apprentice gone on strike? ;)
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....
