I believe GoFasters mentioned that EnduroEngineering (EE) was planning to offer a GasGas aftermarket seat. However, I don't recall if this was a complete seat or if you had to ship your seat pan for a conversion.
Regarding the brake caliper carrier, the only aftermarket version that I've seen was the Scotts Racing carrier with disc protector. Most other companies (such as Fastway) make a disc protector that bolts onto the OE carrier. The brakes are Nissan, so there may be a crossover part. Most folks ask about disk protectors and not carriers
Is there a particular reason for needing a different brake carrier?
EDIT:
I also forgot... Welcome to the club! I just realized this was your first post. You will love the GG bikes!

thanks for the input
the reason for the carrier is that it is very sloppy, and rattles like a bucket of bolts. its not uncommon for this to happen to any number of my bikes iv owned over the years, eg: kx,cr,2texc,4texc and now ec! thanx for the scotts lead! i will also contact ee about a seat!

resurrecting an old thread:
just like mentioned above, my 07 ec300 rear caliper rattles terribly on descents, and I can move it manually about 1/4 inch or more side to side. Has Scott's sharkfin guard (replaces stock rear caliper support). Are there replaceable parts to firm up the caliper, or is it time for a new guard? Or get used to the rattle LOL?

Why are you using brakes in the first place?????
Get used to the rattle....a few years back I replaced my caliper carrier with a Scott's unit....rattles....loose tolerances is my guess.....I know it doesn't solve your problem......
