Seat question

[joebloggs]

Im gonna say that the gap is indeed big compared to mine, I know this from polishing the side panels I cannot get my finger between them and the seat and always end up getting white residue on the seat cause I cant be bothered to take it off but then I have to- to get the residue off that is now also sitting on the top of the panels.
I dont think that whoever refitted after spraying has put them back quite right

I've taken them off and put them back on again several times, still the same. And tbh with the front mounting bolts having a shoulder almost the same diameter as the holes in the tail piece I cant see there being enough vertical adjustment to make any difference.

Will try packing the area above the seat bracket at the rear and see if that helps
