RowlandAren't the anchor nuts fitted on the outside surface of the footwell
? In several positions it must be nearly impossible to fit the anchor nuts
in the normal way.Graham

During build do it as in manual.=C2- I was only suggesting a possible may
be better repair if the imbedded anchor nut fails. It will not take much to
rque when tightening bolt? Make sure bolt thread does not reach unthreaded
part when installing.=C2- =C2-

is of course explains why it has to be flush-fitted.
