        I tried to tighten them but the nuts which are welded to the frame
        were stripped.  I put a nyloc on each bolt and fixed the problem.  We
        checked my friends TR6 and it had the same problem.  You may want to
        check yours.

Hah, you were lucky. Years of wet carpets had rusted the floors around the
passenger rear nuts on my TR4A, so the nuts and surrounding metal were gone! I
brazed a nut to a piece of 1" x 3/16 steel and JB Welded it to the underside
until I have time to replace the whole panel.

If the nut that's part of the frame rail is stripped or missing, you're going
to be hard pressed to fix it.
