    I have seen alot of people that just drilled holes in the seat base and
    popped them in. You would have to take part of the cover off though.

    I think just good old fashioned nuts and bolts, similar to whats used in
    a kh, plus probably some washers.

    Take off old handle

    Remove the metal nubs that the old handle screws into. I just used a
    big drill plus a hammer for this, but if you've got a hacksaw or a
    dremel, that'd be more sensible.

    Work out where your KH handle is going to go, and drill a little dent
    through each hole to mark the bottom of the base.

    Get some M6 (I think) nuts and bolts, same size as the KH comes with.

    Drill holes.

    Fold up the covering a bit, then bung bolts through the holes.

    Attach handle to bolts.

    You'll end up tearing the top of the seat a bit, you can either do
    something professional looking with it, or else you can just bung gaffa
    tape on it wrapped round the seat, which seems to work okay.

    It must be easy to do, because I managed it first time and I'm not
    exactly a DIY person.
