Open door & access from outside.

It's 4 bolts and you're done, isn't it? When you put the bolts back in, a touch of grease on the threads has a high probability of making your life easier in the future

While my wife is neither a midget or contortionist I did talk and begged her into getting in there to fix the kick down switch on my 69...that was sat and she says she is still in pain,

I would have pulled the seat and laid there and done it rather comfy but the dolt I loned my 16 mm deep well to ran off with it...why do my seat bolts have a 16MM ?

Wow!! small world. I believe Mr. Jerk also designed and located most everything in my Lotus.

You need to learn the lotus position... head on floorboard with pedals poking you in the eyes, feet and legs out the sunroof (t-tops for vette). Make sure you have an assistant to pull you out (paramedics a good option).
