[Healeys] Easily removable 4 seater rear seat pans?

[Bob Haskell]

Dave and Patrick,

They used the four sheet metal screws for each seat pan through out the 
6 cylinder roadster production.  I guess when they did the BJ8, they 
wanted something more finished/polished/sophisticated look. :)

Cheers,
