Driver seat removal

Hello Segfault
Might be completely wrong here - but they should all be the same type of screws, they are on my 1980 originally. I think according to below - they were as well

Now for my disclaimer - I am new to the Jaguar world, and with 6 years difference between yours and mine (and mine had suspect mounting screws).
One thing I did learn was the other 3 (2 in the front and 1 near the handbrake) the nuts fall off. The rear one was no problem. The ones holding the front can fall through the second hole in the rail, which can be a real ***** to get out if it happens

Seat out
I believe this is the one you are having trouble with - mine was just what I call a Phillips head stud
Front centre captive nut - there is another hole directly below this nut that goes to the floor. It was a real pain to get it out again
This are the screws that were holing my seat in - the longer one on the right was near the centre rear. The other shorter one was on the centre front with the captive nut. The other two are not original (previous owner modifications)

Yes they are T-40. My trouble appears to be the seat is not moving forward enough to let me access the rear right bolt. The left bolt was put in from underneath by someone who was there before. I can't figure out what is restricting the movement of the seat. It hits something, I can hear and feel it.
