Seat mounting bolt size Tamora

[shep1001]

Anybody know the size of the bolts & nuts that secure the seats on the Tamora? Need to remove the passanger seat as I now have a leak somewhere and the carpet behind the seat & under it is Pi*S wet through. They are well rusted up so they might end up getting cut off.

M8 nyloc nuts with table2 heavy washer
Avoid cutting
Bolts are retained in seat rails so use plenty of WD40 to soak it the day before
Try tightenting by quarter turn before undoing carefully, you don't want them to break.

You may need to jam a screwdriver down the end of the seat rail to stop the front bolts turning

7/16"UNF seat belt mountings

Careful the rear bolts are long so watch the paintwork

Dont forget to put the seat belt mounting back before fixing the seats

Check the side widow seal to see if it comes from there whilst the seats out

Thank you, informative as always. Suspect the leak is where the bottom edge of the targa roof section meets the door, you can see daylight from the inside. Rather odd though as it has not leaked since I got the car in Sept and suddenly its soaking!
