Re: The "In over my head" build thread

Please be Seated

Found a few hours yesterday to work on the K5.

Got the rear seat installation finished. For anyone reading it's 1/2" coarse thread X4 for the back bolts and the 2 front bolts are 7/16" coarse.

Longer bolts (1.5") came in for the front seats so I got those installed and even had enough time to get the sill plates installed as well. Not as much progress as I'd of liked but it's a pain in the butt to get the bolts lined up, through the carpet, mass loaded vinyl, and heat foam. But I slowly prevailed.
