scot taco Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Can I fit a later model (76-77) seat and fender on my 1974 TY250 ? My seat base is pretty beat up and I like the look of the later ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) yes but you will need to add seat mounting lugs to the A model frame. I can do a photo if you want Edited February 25, 2013 by feetupfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot taco Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yes,a photo would be great when you have time. Thank you! Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 It's not raining so I can get to my shed and take photos These are photos of later model TY250 frames showing the seat mounting lugs. The photo showing the RH side of a frame is of a D model and the one showing the LH side seat mount is of a C model. The inner surfaces of the lugs are flush with the inner edges of the frame tubing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majesty320 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you contact John at trail and trials uk, he has some origional seats with the yellow base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot taco Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 OK majesty320,I might do that just to see what they cost.I think that I like the looks of the C or D models a little better,but there is an A model on ebay (US) right now and it is a really nice looking bike! Thank you for the pics feetupfun.Does the C and D model have a different style airbox? It looks like those lugs would maybe be in the way for the A model airbox? Thanks again ! Cheers, Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 The shape and location of the AB and DE airboxes is the same, but the lids are slightly different because the CD models breathe through a slot in the lid. Nothing that will cause a problem with the seat screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
