[TR] TR4 seat mounting question

I installed the seats last night in consideration of the comments provided.

On the driver's side. I used the rear-most holes as George suggested 
with good results.  The rubber buffers at the rear frame corners sit 
seat squarely on the top of the seat rail, and the outboard side of the 
seat looks parallel to the side of the car.  The seat feels like its at 
the right elevation and angle.

The situation on the passenger side was different.  When I put the pivot 
bolts in the rear-most seat holes, the seat was skewed relative to the 
seat rails and the buffers didn't contact the seat rail.  Moving the 
outboard pivot bolt to the front hole put everything in alignment.  
Maybe my passenger side seat frame or rails were bent at some point, or 
maybe there are two sets of holes to allow this type of adjustment.  In 
any event, that's what worked for me.

BTW, only TRF seems to stock the rubber seat buffers (original PN 613746 
/ substitute PN 621515).

Thanks.
