Hi, Bill -
I vote for cutting off the studs and drilling holes in the pans to match the
holes already in your car.
Actually, I like the BJ7 method of attaching the rear seat pans better than
the BJ8. Most of the studs on my BJ8 seat pans broke off during pan removal,
so I just added some anchor nuts to the seat frame, drilled holes in the seat
pan to match, and now enjoy the convenience of being able to easily remove the
seat pans for access to the primary and backup fuel pumps, the in-line fuel
filter, as well as to fill the differential with oil.
Happy Healeying!

The only rear seat pans I could get for my BJ7 were the seat pans for the
BJ8.
The BJ8 pans come with bolts already attached and, suprise, the holes don't
match up to the frame holes already in the car. Looking for points of view.
Cut off the bolts and drill new holes in the pans for the attachment
scrrews
or try to allign the new pan bolts and drill holes in the body.
