Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

General Douglas Discussion / pillion seata
Last post by saluki42 - 07 Jan 2025 at 11:14
Hi there, Looking through the kit of parts that came with my Model Z I have come across a bit of a puzzle. I have a complete rear luggage carrier as shown on the original factory road test photographs. The other thing I seems to have is a fully dismantled and rusty, mudguard mounted, adjustably sprung, single pillion seat frame. 
This seat frame looks as if all of the bits are there but without further information I have no idea if they really are and even less of an idea how they fit together.
If anybody out  there has any information or better still pictures of the assembly of these parts I would be very grateful.

Regards
Chris

Thank you!
That was a good guess with the 3 mm holes.

Hi Tony,

I´m happy to help you with my informations.

The side wall bores are also 3mm diameter on my tail piece.

I have no knowledge about the specification of the Bantam types.
So I think your drawing measures should be right.

That's a great help Michael.

Just checked the sizes on the drawing i made and it is 145 mm high at the tail and 125 mm long,but the diameter of the pipe is 25 mm or 1 inch, yours is 32 mm or 1 1/4 so I am wondering if yours is off of a 1934 / 1935 model which had the Douglas engine and probably more power than the Villiers engine in mine!
So I think I will keep the sizes as they are as they are in proportion with the smaller diameter pipe.
I have made the holes in the side wall at 3 mm. Is this similar to yours?
Once again, thanks for your help

I had good luck having the journals on the crankshaft laser welded (cold weld, not heating the metal) and then machined.
The difficult is to find a repairer.
Mine has the parts for years ....
