Hey guys - some of you will have seen my previous thread and the troubles in getting my new seats installed. Long story short, I had been sent incorrect fitting kits, and the seats not compatable without extensive modification. Watch this space for replacements.
However, on trying to put the original seat back in, I one of the bolts seems to be cross threaded. You can screw it down so far, and then it wont budge. Assumption is that in the processes of trying to put the new seats in, the tension may have damaged the thread.
The bolt looks fine, so assume its the thread in the chassis.
How to overcome? I've seen suggestions of oil up with WD40 and force it, cutting a slit into the bolt, re-cutting the thread, drilling it out and replacing... etc etc.
Any suggestions welcomed.
