Hi pip, you may find one on ebay, ill have a scour through my photos so might have one, ive even got a feeling ive got one as i never put mine back on when i fitted my Sp seat unit. Ive also got a feeling the SP models may not have the same rear subframe as the non SP models so may not have provision for a passenger seat and lock. Have you got any photos of the seat unit off? If so if you have a pic of the left hands side of the subframe that would be even better.

Does your seat unit have a bum pad that comes off with a key?

how does the catch work on the SP models? i'm assuming you don't have a key as per normal models or is it positioned different behind the bum pad?

The SP models dont have one, since they dont have a passenger seat.

What the SP model has; if you have a proper one, is a bum pad that has a lock and key.
