  1. I have a pretty good seat built up for muni now and I want to toss a kh
    rail adapter so I can use it with my brake but it doesn't see to fit.

    It would seem that the viscount screws are just a bit farther apart
    than the KH screws.

    Is there a way to rectify this problem?

  3. How do the bolts not turn in the base? Is it same as the KH base with
    sqaure holes and carriage bolts?

    By "Appart" do you mean length ways or sideways?

    IF LENGTH WAYS:
    Just drill 2 new holes in your seat base and use 2 of the old
    holes(front) and the 2 new holes(back). If the difference is too small
    then make the two new holes(back) and two old holes(back) into a slot.
    This may mean that you have to remove the seat cover to tighten the
    bolts as a sqaure bolt will strip easier in a slot compared to a
    hole(sqaure hole).

    IF SIDEWAYS:
    You could make a new set of holes (4 sqaure holes) about a cm or two
    behind the existing bolts, that way none of the holes should interfer
    with each other. The position of the holes won't change anything
    because you can change the postion of the seat post on the rail
    adaptor.

    If the bolts attach using some other way you could always buy some
    carriage bolts (KH style bolts) and drill/file some new holes.

    Hope this is of some help.
