Tried searching but did not find an answer. I'm working on these now, I started at the inboard side for no other reason than that is what the manual shows, that went fine and I moved to the outboard side, got the holes drilled but I can't see how to get the washer and lock nut installed as there is just no room between the seat frame and the upholstery.

I'm thinking of installing 5/16" riv-nuts and some shorter bolts unless someone has another suggestion.

Thanks, Gary

Gary, I had no problem with the outboard bolts, but I ended up using trunk hinges from a MB sedan so I could raise the seat back up to get to my speakers I installed behind the seat. I also have the battery shut off and posts for jump starting if needed. Sorry that I don't have any pictures that show this.
