Does anyone know what size the Torx screw / Bolts are that hold the Car seat to the Floor? Mr. Haynes doesnt tell me

Thanks

Carl

Thank you very much guys

While I am here, what is a good locking fluid to use for the Seat bolts when I fit them to my Tourer, The bolts are Obsolete according to Rimmers and Mr. Haynes says to use a locking fluid on the Bolts

I used a T50 torx bit. Didn't use threadlock because I thought that if I'm in an accident where the threadlock would make a difference to whether the seat is wrenched out of its floor bolts then I don't want to survive thanks!

T50. Never used theadlock etc.

As the holes go the whole way through the floor, expect them to be a ******* to remove the first time.
