Right i toot a pic of the locating pin before curt put the seats in so people could see how we managed it. Im not 100% sure if this is right or not as curt is at work, but if i haven't explained it correctly then i will add the correct way later. What i think he done was cut the end of the locating pin down to it was level with the rail and then adjusted the bracket slightly so the bolt would go straight in, but as i said if im wrong i will edit this and put the correct way in. The locating pin before it was cut, holding the bracket in place. and this is how it sat once the seats were fitted. I dont know if this helps anyone at all. Anyway had my inlet mani turn up today yay, found it on www.247spares.co.uk for the bargain price of £46 all in. Looks in pretty good condition no cracks or rust etc etc. Will hopefully get this fitted in the next few weeks as i think curt needs a rest from working on my car for a bit lol. thanks for all the comments guys. chanelle x
