Blue C7 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Possible of interest. Made by cutting a piece of 25mm steel angle 50mm long slide in the end of seat runner and will hold bolt down while putting nut on below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brown Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 One post per bolt seems a bit over the top :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Maybe it's a four seater like the big Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted April 11, 2020 Area Representative Share Posted April 11, 2020 Easier to just tack weld the bolts to the runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ. Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 That looks a good tool. I had allen head bolts in the runners on my drivers seat, and getting an allen key in was a nightmare! I welded bars onto the bolt heads to stop them turning, but that was still a pain. Now I have made aluminium rectangular tubes for the drivers side so the bolts come up through the floor. There are two sets of captive nuts so I can move the seat forward so my wife and daughters can drive Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I use M8 cap head allen bolts though the runners and nuts underneath and never had a problem. I have got long arms!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I welded plain M8 nuts in the runners and bolt from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bricol Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hex heads from underneath into captive nuts/steel nut serts/hank bushs in the seat rails. When the hex heads hit the ground, which with the lowered floor they do on occasion, there's not so much protruding to catch the ground. When it does, and gets ground off a touch, there's still usually enough left to get a wrench around to undo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
