Does anyone run a Corbin ET4 seat? I have one that is missing the lock and latch mechanism. It appears that the stock seat mechanism gets installed in the Corbin, but I have no confirmation on this. Can someone post a photo? Thanks!

As you can see, these locks look a bit different. Plus, the Corbin has the lock on the right side vs the stock seat is on the left.

I would imagine you can call Corbin and get the locking hardware from them.

The ET4 Corbin seat is different. The lock mechanism looks to be the same one that is used on the stock seat. The key switch is directly connected by a lever to the latch.

I was just looking at the Corbin website. They don't even show the ET4. Starts at 2005 and up LX.

Keep us posted how it works out.

It's on a stock seat pan, so the ET4 lock should work. The LX and S models have the lock on the left side.

I had a rare good idea last night. I went to the Internet Archive wayback machine and looked at Corbin's website in late 2005. Lo and behold, there were photos and a manual. See the attached.
