Question Does anyone have a RHD FD?

Hi, I am installing rear seats in my FD but the issue is there are only stampings for the rear seat brackets in the strut tower. if anyone can send me a picture of the bolt holes on a RHD i would greatly appreciate it

These are spot welded on to the towers, not bolted. I probably have pics somewhere of a car I drilled them off when fitting bins. i'll have a look later.

Was yours a 2 seater originally? I recall that the RHD 2 seater chassis doesn't have provision for rear seats on the strut towers.

Here is a pic of the brackets with the spot welds drilled out that need to be attached to the towers:

These I sold to someone with my seats I'm afraid.

Here are a couple more pics that might help you align the brackets.
