Default XJ6 S3 trim fixings?

Hi All,
The resto continues. Does anyone know what size the bolts that fix the bottom of the rear back rest to the body are. A PO has removed and not refitted these bolts. I can’t find the size of these bolts in the parts manual even though there is a part number of PFS 125/2B.
Thanks in Advance

I am assuming that you have all ready removed the seat bottom. The bottom bolts go in nearly horizontally towards the trunk, The head of the bolt should be 7/16ths. Once the bolts from both sides have been removed the seat back should be lifted towards the rear window. it will slide on the dovetails that hold it to the top. Might take a person on each side to get it to slide smoothly.

Thanks Larry and Doug,
I think I got a bit lucky on this today. I am changing out my interior for a good second hand one that is not cracked and tearing. Amongst the bits and pieces was a bag of screws and bolts which also had what a pair of screws that looked to be a perfect fit. So, lucky today, wish I had that sort of luck with some of the more expensive parts.
Thanks Again
