Seat bolts

[wickcopland]

I am installing the front seat after 4 years. There is a bolt on each side midway between the door and the driveshaft tunnel. It is a third of the way under the seat from the rear and threads into a 5/16 Nut.
Any idea what it’s purpose is?

Caged nut on the sheet metal (floor) or on the frame?

If it's on the frame, it's a body to frame mount.

i removed the front seat on my '41 just the other day. there were four bolts and nuts; one near each of the four corners of the seat frame. i suspect the arrangement nay not be original, as i suspect the original arrangement would have involved captured nuts in the floorboards.

It is a '39 Deluxe Tudor.

Could it be that all the car frames were manufactured with bolt holes for various models?

Just checked, body bolt. Make sure you have everything under the dash sorted before installing the seat… you’ll be glad you did.

I feel like a dummy. Got under the car and the bolts in question are in deed body bolts to frame. Did get the dash items done while I was using the milk crate as a seat!

Thanks
