Thanks but I have no idea what you just did

So ok, in my pic - above the biscuit tin we can see L to R the shiny bolt heads of the mudguard boss, the seat spring boss, the transverse tube for the pillion seat and the central boss behind the rubber bush (which itself is concealed by the bracket, and in front of that we can just make out the unused forward seat bracket behind the petrol tank.

Another thing, I've dropped the seat a tad (about 24.5mm) since that picture. Do you see the little 'elbow' in the seat spring?

I've dropped the bolt into that by Dremelling off part of the spring's tang. The stepped washer thingy can't slip out because I gauged it first, I did not take the entire hook off.

I'm supposed to be a physicist-engineer so I use proper engineering terms
