Seat belt bolts

[RobN]

Hi all,
I appear to have found a cross threaded seat belt bolt (front L/H lower)d don't know how it happened :augie (Bolt stated with fingers :thumb2, Impact drill attached , Drill in reverse - bolt unscrews :doh, hailstorm starts , drill to forward full revs :doh, cross thread eek: ).

Anyway, on checking the bolt it appears to be a M11 125 which I can not find anywhere. On reading sage advice on Duck Duck Go, it appears the standard bolt is a UNF 7/16 20, would appreciate enlightenment.

Away from home at the moment so cannot check the thread, but yes they are a very different bolt to that in common use, I know I have some spares if you need one, but will not be back till Tuesday, Rick

Thanks

Thanks Rick,

MOT Tuesday, have taken out the passenger seat so technically it says you are not required to have the belt. I will see if the rear lap strap uses the same bolts.

Think the lap strap bolt may be shorter, Rick

I now have taps and dies for 11mm 75, 100 and 150 .

Bought both the 11mm 125 and the UNF 7/16 20 from the Avon firm, arrived to late for the MOT but as the car failed on suspension coil mounts I will be OK for the Retest.
Note: The garage accepted with the passenger seat out, the belt did not reqquire test.
