[Healeys] BT7 Seat Rail Attachment

[Charlie Baldwin]

Charlie,
Do yourself a big favor and get a Service Parts List for your car. The 
one that I have is for the BN7 and BT7.  It shows pretty much every part 
with exploded drawings of where they go.  It would also help to figure 
out the proper fasteners to use, once you have the code to give you all 
of the specs of the standard ones.
It was invaluable to me, even though my car was assembled prior to 
restoring it.
