Lower Seat Belt Anchorage Points

[Guest sandy77uk]

All I'm a little lost, the lower anchorage points have all taken an m10 1.50 bolt with the exception of a single point, the one against the side panel so non way to get to the back of it, this one the bolt won't nip up, am I Best off drilling and tapping to an m12?

Seat belt mountings are 7/16 UNF, NOT metric.

 

A legacy from the original seat belt fittings from the 1960's.

 

Bolts supplied with belts should fit.

Yeah I tried the bolts that came with the belts and they didnt fit, the thread on those was 1.25, as I say all the other 3 points have accepted an M10 1.5 and nipped up tightly

 

I may take them all out and see if I can get a 7/16 1.25 tap and try again

Hi guys,

 

Sorry M10 bolts should get you an IVA failure. 7/16 UNF, UNC, or BSF will do, as would 11mm but they are not made. The bolts can be M12 but will be a pain to fit. They must be 8>8 or a higher grade or equivalent.

 

Don't forget to take photos for the IVA inspector or he will make you take the chairs out!
