Seat post help!

[scotty110788]

Few of my things have arrived to day, all added to my bike apart from seat post. thought these were universal for attatchment to the saddle but turns out this one aint , the lengh for grip between rails jus a tad to small for it to grip evenly on both side, anyone have any solutions apart from taking post back? I have added some pics which hopefully should help thanks!

It doesn't look far out. Have you tried to lock it down and see if it pull the rails in?

Squeeze the two rails together

Squeeze the two rails together

as said above Also use some cable ties to pull the two rails together while you tighten the fixing bolt.

Take off the topeak clip and see if it fits then, it may be forcing the saddle rails out slightly. I had to get a narrower one of them for a thinner road saddle.
