Lycett saddle mounting

Forums

Could anyone with a plunger framed Model 7 (or ES2) post a detail photo of the solo Lycett saddle nose?  I have a "replica" Lycett saddle of Asian origin, and need to fabricate the forward pivot mount to the frame, but I don't have dimensions or any idea exactly what it should look like.  Unfortunately the Norton parts books are sorely lacking in drawings.
 Thanks in advance for any help,
Jerry

Here's a photo of the seat off my Model 7.
I did import some new seats to Oz from Phoenix Motorcycle Restoration Parts in Smethwick, Birmingham a couple of years ago. They were of reasonable quality but the only issue I found was the front mounting tabs were too close together but was easily rectified.
They list them on eBay UK as item number 144787497677 under a trading name called Fairdeals.

Thanks, Ian.  Could you possibly post another view, a little more to the side?  I can't tell if the straps are straight or curved, and the tape measure hides the means of attachment to the seat frame.  Hope I'm not being too greedy...
I'll check out the ebay seller you mentioned.
