Hi again, final cry for friendly help this evening.
I recently removed the passenger seat for carpet replacement... I had to grind off the studs on the underside of the car to allow seat removal.
I now cannot for the life of me work out how to replace the seat within the car. I simply have no access to any of the bolting assembly points, be it bottom rail to car, or middle rail to lower rail.
I have attached a fairly unhelpful image of the view from the front of this car's mounting system in case it is non standard..

Hi all again.
Thanks for all previous replies. I've just come back to this issue and re-reading all responses to my original garbled question.
You say that there should be some wooden spacer/runners between seat rail and floor. These do not exist on my car. I have long suspected that something like wooden spacers should be in place. Has anyone a sketch with some dimensions they could possibly show me at all please for these spacers? I'll then go for both the tack and double nut approach talked about thankyou :-)

Hi again all. Apologies for repeating my previous question regarding wooden seat rail supports but is anyone able to suggest approximate dimensions of these pieces and in which orientation they sit within the cat please?
This may sound obvious to those on the know, sorry. On my T350 I notice the equivalent seat mount strengthening supports run across the car from seat mount bolt to seat mount bolt. One front and one back of the seat.
