Attached is the Lycett style seat from CMW I had the dealer install before I bought my Enfield 2 years ago.  Now it has come loose, bouncing up and down in the front but with no apparent hardware missing. That Dealer is not close by.  Does anyone have pics of how there's is installed?

Look under the front of the seat.
You should see a two point hinge-like arrangement with a bolt at the seat attachment point and a bolt at the frame attachment point. Adjust your seat to a comfortable position and tighten the two bolts. The upper one will screw into a nut on the other side, and the lower one to a fixed nut welded to the seat hinge frame.

Thanks, I'm probably blind but am not seeing where the seat is actually attached, other than the springs; and do not see a fixed nut that is welded to the frame.
Attached are pics of my set up.

Looks like the front mont has broken.
Off route, recalculate?

Sure does. Different setup than my 2012.Sorry if I mislead you.That piece (with the tongue facing forward) attached to the frame looks to be somewhat adjustable. Perhaps tightening it up SNUG and bending the tongue up, then rotating it forward will give it better contact with the forward frame of the saddle?
Maybe not, but worth a try, and might save you the cost of another seat frame.
