Removed the seats yesterday to fit some protective edging round the crotch strap holes (to stop fraying of the belts), but came across several different bolt types.
Passenger seat:
Front = 2 x 6mm hex cap head 15mm bolt - TVE 12.8
Rear = 2 x 6mm hex cap head 15mm bolt- SEP 12.9
Drivers seat:
Front = 2 x 5mm hex button head 25mm bolt - (no markings)
Rear = 2 x 6mm hex cap head 25mm bolt - SEP 12.9
Q1: Should they be all the same type of bolt?
Q2: What’s the difference between the SEP/TVE ratings?
Q3: Are they the correct type of bolt?
Q4: If not what are the correct type?
Q5: Do I need cap head bolts (lower profile)for the front drivers to allow clearance for the adjustable seat rail?
Q6: I have a drivers crotch strap that was secured under the rear bolts which I guess is why the bolt length was 25mm not 15mm as in the passenger side. Could I get away with 25mm bolts all round, or is the mounting holes not deep enough?
Q7: I’d like to swap the rail round on the drivers side to give more forward movement (so Fi can reach the peddles better). I know I will lose the same in rear adjustment, but I don’t have the seat right back anyway. How do you swap these over?
Q8: Would there be any issues with scraping the side sills if the seat was able to move further forward
Think that’s enough for now, cheers
