    Exclamation another bolt problem

    managed to remove the buggered bolt in my rear seats, as im getting a full set of VXR seats tomorrow. removed my rear seats tonight in readiness for them to be fitted tomorrow, and one of the bolts, this time on the front side has gone pete tong. the bolt is fine, but the thread in the hole in the car floor is a bit chewed up. this is the larger bolt with the T50 head that holds the seatbelt buckle to the car so needs sorting.

    does anyone know what the thread size is on it at all?? and more to the point, have the correct size tap i could borrow to run down the hole and clean the thread so i can get the bolt back in

    cheers all!!

      I see youve bought them half leathers. Great buy mate

      I wouldve had them if I never had my custom seats and then again no point adding to the bill on the car when it may not be staying too long

      Did you read my PM mate ? a nut and bolt of a smaller diameter will suffice...
