Good Morning Board,
Finally getting around to installing stock style seat belt retractors. Cannot find the four Phillips head bolts that hold the plate in. Does anyone know the thread size of those four bolts?
I know the seat belt itself is 7/16 fine thread.

Also, what is the commom way of mounting the plate: over the carpet or under carpet?

Thanks in advance,
David Finley

Hello Chuck,
Don't yet know plans tomorrow but have doing everything possible to be driveable for at least next Sunday.
Will advise,
Thanks, David

Dear Dave,

If you'll come over to PRI this weekend, then I can show you the installation and measure up the bolts which are currently out of one Pantera. I do trust that you're close to being ready for the Meet next weekend. Perhaps the Meteor Run on Saturday?

I never could figure out exactly what those threads are. 7/16-NF is the closest I could come and they will work.

They are just strange sizes. If you convert 7/16 to metric they come to 11.1 mm.

It is far more likely that the thread is m12-1.25 which is the size of a VW wheel "bolt".

Those aren't that common here, except the ones that fall off of the VW's parked on the street?

I'll look for one in the gutter the next time that I walk the dog?
