seat installation

Postby M100TURBOFR » Sun 23.10.2022, 12:05

Hi.Clarification required please. Seats been out for a while and can't remember exactly. There are 4 bolts two of which are longer. Do the longer ones go at the rear and is the bigger spacer (29mm) installed at rear next to the seat belt achorage side i.e. next to the door?
Thanks again. David

Basically, the inner 2 bolts are captive, so use the short ones (the long ones will hit the bottom of the captive cage before they are tightened and the seat will remain lose. The outer 2 have washers and nuts on them, fitted from underneath (there is just about enough room for an average person to both hold a spanner on one end and a ratchet on the other).

The slightly longer spacer goes in the rear outer position.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
