Loose Nuts

Post by stevejt » Thu Mar 04, 2010 6:22 pm

The conversion I have had included two rear bench seats which cover over the rear arches. Today I noticed that on the passenger side there are 4 nuts / bolts showing and on the drivers side there appear to be just the two, unless the others are hidden by the cupboard side.

The nuts on these bolts are not tightened down and washers only showing on drivers side, none on passenger side. Could someone please let me know if these are just redundant or if indeed they are related to the suspension and should in fact be tightened down?

Any help much appreciated.

Steve.

sounds like it's just the studs for fixing the flip up seats that would have originally been there? certainly nowt to do with suspension or anything.

I've just removed my fold up seats and refitted the middle one the right way round on long rails - the seat just clears the turrets and studs without modifying them - going to fit some plastic top hats and a bit of grey carpet to finish it off :D

My bongo is having its first service on Friday at A&S in Caerphilly and would have felt a bit of a numbnuts having to ask if they were supposed to be that way.

Here's hoping for no surprises and thanks for taking the bongo apart.

With a message title like "loose nuts" I can't believe that nobody has suggested that you wear tighter underpants.
