That's exactly the point.

I stripped a brand new K1 seat for exactly that reason but then bought a Yamiya full seat :-[ The Yamiya base has the hole pattern of a sub 300 VIN sandcast. Bob the seat's foam and cover just didn't 'cut the mustard' and I was never happy with it.

Post by: Sgt.Pinback on June 10, 2016, 09:54:17 AM: I also will have to strip down a new Yamiya red sponge seat and switch the pan for my # 1983
Luckily, I have a spare KO pan.

But good to know, # 1983 came with a K1 seat, so IÂ´ver got another KO spare pan.

Whats a KO 17hole- pan worth?

Post by: AshimotoK0 on June 10, 2016, 10:32:18 AM: Well I sold a rare 500K0 metal seat pan for 27 quid on eBay a month or so ago and that's as rare as the 750K0, so that's my guess of it's value.

Easy to get too picky on the 750 ducktail seat. NO repro currently available is correct as the original red foam had a hard rubber 'ducktail' bit in it . Not even Yamiya's finest has that insert.
