Just wondering if there was a torque figure for the bolts holding the seats in, or is it just metric tight?

Hi NCoT,
I would torque those bolts to just no more than two white knuckles, don't want to crush the fiberglass between the seat runners & the penny washers.
As long as they're tight enough to stop the seat runners jiggling about, that should do.
Oh & a blob of sealant as you assemble the nuts, bolts & washers should keep the floorpan nice & water-tight.

Are you going to show us some pics of your freshly installed seats?

Are you using "nylok" nuts ?

Just reinstalling the passenger seat - window had dropped and the cover wasn't on a few weeks ago and a heavy shower left a puddle! All clean and dry now. Reusing the nylock nuts, might put a spot of threadlock on them too.

I have finally got round to fixing the fan relay so hope to get a bit of driving in now!
