 I cant send it back now....Ive made big holes all over it. Most of the cheapo rubbers just pulled off the new seat with a soft tug. Its a shame really because some effort has gone in to making the dammed thing, it only required a final bit of care to make sure it was trimmed up and fitted correctly, and then some decent rubbers used instead of the pop riveted on cupboard door stops - that fall off if you touch them.

Its also missing the Honda on the back...I'm going to have to paint that on myself which I'm not keen on  doing but will do as It looks wrong without it.

 I've now got it to mechanically fit everywhere properly except around the back of the tank. The base has been trimmed badly at the front and leaves a gap that looks awful. Its not even the same on each side. Theres nothing else for it, I'm going to have to unglue it and build up the front edge of the base to what it should be. Theres enough material its just wether it unglues without damage. I can use the small leading edge trim off my original seat as a guide as its gone solid in the perfect shape.
