Has anybody install the rear seats in their GT350R?

Sure. I suggest going to your Ford dealer and showing them this diagram. I've seen all sorts of different nuts, bolts, and studs that share the same part numbers. I asked the parts guy to pull up the drawings for a non-R but I suspect these parts are the same as you'd find in a regular Mustang.

In addition to the parts that come in the kit, you need:

2x HS2 - These are Torx screws that affix the striker plate to the chassis.
2x HT1 - These are the studs that go into the chassis that the seats mount to.
2x HN1 - The nuts that hold the seats to the HT1 studs.

I explained all of this in an e-mail to Ford Performance, and spoke with a guy on the phone. They just sent me a new hardware kit which was still missing the HT1 and HN1 parts (but I could use the HS2).

While you're sourcing parts, pick up one of these online:

I was only able to find them in 1/4 drive locally (at a NAPA). At 40ft-lbs there's real risk in breaking a 1/4 drive. While a 1/4 socket seems to fit the splines in the stud perfectly, you'll likely round them out at that torque.

Awesome info. Well done.
