Ok so my drivers seat broke cos im a right fattie. It looks like i snapped a little weld. Am I right in thinking it should be as shown in the second pic?
While im taking the seat off, i see this.....the larger bolt is very loose but wont come out.
This is what was attached to the nut. Is this an original part that was embedded within the metal?
Heres what was underneath
So...obviously that wasnt at all safe so its a good job i took the seat out. I suspect the mechanic that did my last MOT work found/made that mess when fitting the new seatbelt (which he screwed up) and put in those two smaller screws to anchor the seat.
Just took out the rest of the seats and theres nothing else like that one to be seen. Wondering how on earth that happened. Gonna pull up the carpet tomorrow to get a closer look.
Im thinking im gonna have to get a new chunk of steel welded in there to anchor the seat to. Or any other suggestions how i can make my drivers seat safe?
