Great idea on replacing the stock screws with allen head bolts 8) . Getting to the bolts is the problem my seats do not move all the way back or forward so I can not access them with a normal screwdriver, even after cleaning and lubing them with lithium greese. I will definitly replace them with the allens.

I used allens and they were too fat. I had to sand down the OD a bit to get them to seat.

you may have to give the lube/oil/grease some time to penetrate then re-apply :wink: dont be afraid to put a little force when trying to move the seats back & forth 8)

had zero issues using these bolts :?
