‘57 Pillion seat mount to luggage rack

Post by ferrarirobinson »

Could someone send to me or post a few pictures of a pillion seat mounted to a stock luggage bracket on the rear fender on a
‘57 (+ or -) R 60.

Thanks
Charlie

I’m not where I can send a picture, but in my experience it was just a matter of using the existing three nuts welded to the underside of the luggage rack, and bolting the seat through those welded nuts. If I recall, they’re M8x1.25. In my rack, the thread of the nuts needed chasing, due to paint or powder coat, with a tap, but that worked well. The seat I purchased came with the wrong sized bolts, so use the thread size and pitch of the nuts welded in the luggage rack, not by the loose bolts that come with the seat.

The repro luggage racks don't have these nuts welded to the underside. So you have to fumble loose nuts under there.

Is this what you are looking for? Two clamps in the front and one in the rear, mounted thru the holes on the luggage rack. It was previously on my bike but I took it off. Very rare item nowadays.

The original Denfelds are not available in stores any longer. There are some reproductions, though. Check eBay.
