I am probably off target on this but as I recall the plastic shell Unicanitor saddle without padding never came with alloy wishbone rails only the "normal" rails. The wishbone was a later introduction. I have one in the basement but it is padded. Is it possible that this one too is a later model that has had the padding removed?
