Default Folding seat

Hi Tony,
regards your seat idea, excellent, that's what I want to do. Just be aware that there is a regulation in the MOT testers manual about folding seat that must lock in the up right position. The standard Heral seat just has a spring clip arrangement that supposedly keeps the seat from moving forwad. I would say there would be no nood for some complicated locking mechanism just something simple that stops the backrest flopping foreward. Of course if you are that way inclined you could use something like a simple bonnet catch type affair, which if you had a plain black knob cable like an aftermarket choke cable to release it, it would keep the back up and keep it locked so any potential thief would not know the seat folded. just an idea
