What are these parts supposed to be holding together ? - LotusTalk

Just....em....curious...

I found them rattling around on the floor of my Elise.... on the drivers side near the seat rails....no big deal really

Any guesses (educated ones hopefully). Yes I've looked at the seat rail bolts, and they seem to all be in place and they don't match the bolt. The silver washer was found after the black bolt/washer combo...this is all shaping up to be like a Conan Doyle story, isn't it ? Thank you, and good night.

Maybe they hold the seat to the rails, or a bracket up in the dash as it appears to be a self-threading screw. Most of the interior fastners I have seen have been phillips heads. Did you find any chicken bones under your seat as well?

Hmm...no chicken bones but I did notice some strands of fine Turkish tobacco....

Check the upper bolt from the bracket on the side rear to the seat. The one above the large lapbelt bolt.

I can't quite figure out the location you're referring to, Randy, can you elaborate a little more ? Thanks,

Looks like the part that holds the part that keeps the turn signal from popping out*
