Probably mentioned it in the distant past, but the front seats of my 80 each have the captive nut of the rear outer mount broken out. To fix it I have a regular nut and washer under each which I can hold in place (just) with a very specific short open-ended 17 mm spanner.
Every time I decide to take one or both of the front seats out it annoys me how the mounts are broken like that, but I wonder if it's a factory design issue with the mounts on the earlier build bodies?
My 80 also doesn't have any sort of factory-fitted rear mount for a centre console (so I made my own).
BTW best thing I did was ditch the front pass side bench seat and fit a normal pass side bucket seat to permit installation of a factory centre console.
