Front seat bolt Curvy
Added a quick connect charger cable and found one of the front seat bolts don’t tighten up. Any one had the same and have a fix.
Looks like it bolts to the subframe and feels like a captive bolt welded to the back. Not worth changing the subframe for that so a quick solution would do |

Ah, yes, I had that problem. I used a longer bolt and a nut behind the captive nut.
Not the most elegant thing I've ever done. |

Exactly what I did too.

Just be a bit careful about the wiring harnesses which hide behind those seat bolts. It was always one of the standard things to check when electrical gremlins afflicted a curvy, the bolts would project through and chafe the harness.

I actually found that the original bolt was long enough to get a shallow nut onto.

Cheers chaps. I managed to find a nut lurking in the tool box and managed to get it behind the frame. It seems the screw goes into the harness, probably not the best routing of cables but didn’t feel any damage to the harness so all good
