Seat belt installation????
Hi there guys,



Ok so I this might be a silly question but is there no nuts for our seat belts is it just the bolts? I'm having difficulty installing my belts any hints or help would be appreciated


Thx,

Jen

The seat belts use bolts only. The nuts are part of the floor pan.
As I recall, the bolts are 7/16" SAE (fine) thread shoulder bolts.

I checked the parts catalog and they are 7/16"-20 (fine) bolts. The description reads: Part number 386274-S100 Bolt, pan head, self tapping, 7/16"-20 X 1 3/4"

Usually star head bolt only and hope the nuts in the floor pan are not stripped out. Great time to change to reg 6 pt bolt head style bolt.

If you do change the bolts, don't use anything less than grade 8.

You may also consider chasing the threads with a 7/16-20 tap for the nuts in the floor and then using a little lube on the bolts when installing.
