[Healeys] Seats

Gentlemen;
                  I am replacing the foam in my seat cushions (not  
backs) and have some questions.

1. One of my seats has a solid bottom (no we are not talking about FIA  
President's here) and the other a square cut-out through which the  
foam can be seen.  I have cut the Nock seat softening holes in the  
foam (it still looks like the nest that the mouse family made) and  
these can be seen through the hole.  Which is the correct design for a  
BT7 Mk2?

2.  The new seat runners that I bought are chrome, is this correct?

3.  The nuts holding the seat runners in place (from underneath the  
car) have been changed for the correct stepped nuts.  These fit  
properly through the asbestos heat shield.  Question: what was used on  
the non-asbestos positions (9 of the 12 positions)?  The stepped nut  
can be used reversed, it seems unlikely that tight old BMC would use  
stepped bolts instead of something cheaper, but you never know.

All and any advice welcome,

Mike
