Bill:
On the TR2, per seat, there are six bolts that holds the four piece rails to
the floor. These six bolts are screwed into caged nuts under the floor.
The seat bucket is attached to the rails by eight bolts that are welded to
the rails . Piggott mentions that there were a few very early 2s that the
passenger seat was not adjustable fore and aft. Whether the seats were
bolted directly to the floor is not noted but I would highly doubt it. If
the seat is bolted directly to the floor wouldn't the passenger seat be a
few inches lower than the driver's? Bet if you look under the floors there
will be some new holes drilled and a few captive nuts not being used.
