[Healeys] BT7 Seat Rail Attachment

[Derek Job]

The floor needs to be flat so you'll have to pound them down. The wood
pieces are not painted and the carpet has slots cut out of it to go round
the rails. Some suppliers sell the rear carpet in an uncut piece so you can
cut it exactly to the requirements of your car.
