Anyone know what these are for ?

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Al took them off the seats and couldn't see that they did anything so he hasn't put them back on.

No idea - the Volvo service book on the seats shows them as part of the exploded diagram but doesn't actually mention them throughout the whole process of seat dismantling.

Ejector seat safety pins??

of course, silly me. Considering Al worked on ejector seats back in his RAF days, I'm surprise he didn't recognise them !
