Body off - help needed already

[HHV8]

I have taken the plunge and started work, all was going well. Radiator out, hoses off,manifolds off, exhaust out, electrics labeled etc. Until we got to chassis bolts..... Seats, seat belts , floor pan - no problem. But then I was told there are two bolts up on the centre console way back under the dash. Well I think I have found them, they are positioned either side of the air vent area underneath a fibre glass channel.
How the hell do you get to these, it looks as though you have to either cut the channels away or get a very thin very long spanner.
There must be a way of getting at these without causing serious damage !!!
To make matters worse one of these is an earthing point,, refitting presumably is even more difficult, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Any advice would be appreciated. (I knew I should have started this back in November)
thanks

The bolts i think you sre looking for are located by prodding the carpet just below the dash. You will feel a hollow and the bolt top.

I cut an inch slice in the carpet just enough to get a ring spanner in to undo the bolts.

Also remove the petrol tank to locate the 2 rear bolts.

A ratchet spanner was my solution.

I think they both have earth straps to them go to Halfords & buy a ratchet spanner with a flexi head you will have no trouble with one of those
