Hi All

Emerging from a 3 years rebuild(not restoration I must add) of an S130/4 I've finally bolted the seats back in.

In the bag labelled "seat bolts" I found these dome head 3/8" long screws. I have no recollection of where they came from, but assume are trim related, which is perhaps how they ended up in the seat bolt bag.

Can anybody shed light please?

Thanks

If they are (were ) chromed, maybe the window frame securing it to the edge of the door by the lock?

Yes, wot he said!

A

As noted. On an S4 window frame. Not sure if similar on a Plus 2.

Hi, they secure the door check straps to the door appature. They used this type of coach bolt to clear the mechanism bolted to the bottom of your doors. Hope that helps

Thanks for your suggestions. Will check locks tomorrow!

I agree with Bob Smith - door check mechanism/strap

Well none of those locations is missing any fasteners, so i will store them away in case a spot turns up for them

Thanks all for your help
