Re: Replacing standard TC seats with bucket seats

I,m not sure if it was on this forum site or another [Totally T Type 2 ] but I seem to remember that the simple solution was to remove steering wheel and instead of bolt there was a quick release adapted fron a bicycle hub ,the type that has L shaped lever that one just rotates out from hub and just...
