See this thread i made.

You may have to grind the two stubs off the frame to fit the cub bracket if the cub seat doesn't fit with your bracket.
I dont have a riders seat bracket to try,but if you post a photo of your bracket with the seat up should have a better idea if it will fit.

Looking at your link it makes me think I should be stripping the bike down and applying some undercoat to the bike at some point, before any surface rust sets in!
Either that or a good coating of ACF 50 or suchlike?

Better now than trying to weld the rust up later.

Have you applied anything to your frame that you would recommend?
I only use it on fair weather days generally (unless I get caught in a shower) and never in the winter so it "should" be good as is really.

After having the frame stripped I sealed the seams with Tiger seal and painted the underside with 2 coats of Galvafroid which is a cold galvanising paint. Next was 2 coats of red oxide followed by primer and finished colour which is Traffic Red from Monstercolours in Glasgow.

has stretched its last.. lasted ~ 12000 kms

That's not too drastic I guess. What will you be replacing it with?

Has anyone ever galvanised (Dipped in molten Zinc) a cub frame? It's very common with Landrover owners as the chassis being steel rots away if not adequately protected, usually from the inside out! Would certainly extend the life of a frame on a Cub.
