Silly Question but... (Body Mountings)

[alewis]

This may seem like a silly question but ive looked though all the photos I have taken of dismantling and none are clear enough for me to find the answer !

How is the body held down under the seats, I know there is a long bolt in the middle, but either side of it are there short bolts or are there clips with nuts (which i've lost doh!!!) ?

Regards,
Andrew

Do you mean under the rear seat? It is held by bolts. They are M7x100 thread, a bit uncommon, so better don't lose them!

Confused, I will add picture - good news is if I do need a new M7 bolt lots of them on ebay

The ones in red i am not sure about.
The ones in blue are spring clips with nuts.

The GTL doesn't have holes in the boot floor in those two positions. Earlier cars might have had the holes - I'd guess use the same clips if you are fitting an early shell.

ARH !!!

That explains everything !
I have the bodyshell wrapped up as im painting it and was carefully counting out the bolts on the chassis !

Many thanks for the info !
