Can anybody help?
what is the size of the seat belt anchorage bolts,the type like a large eyelet that you screw into a captive fixing then your belt clips onto them
harness type belts
thread size and pitch fine coarse etc.
any help appreciated
thanks Simon
7/16" UNF rings a bell, but best check... Someone else will be along shortly no doubt...

Ford wheel nuts are a locost option here !
You should find your wheel nuts fit so depending on the number of donors at you disposal or maybe buy some nice wheel nuts to finish your car you
should already have some.

A lot of Ford wheel nuts are M12x1.5, seat belt bolts are 7/16" UNF
7/16" UNF, socket head, HT 12.9 grade are what I used, not too pricey.
Use tuppence bolts if you've got a tuppence body!
The minimum Spec for SVA is 8.8 and he will check every bolt !!
7/16 UNF & I agree they must be the proper 8.8 spec & they will check, the guy checking my car stood on his head with a bendy light & a mirror to look at the heads of my bolts - don't use wheel bolts even if the thread is correct!
Except that Imperial bolts don't always say 8.8 on them.
It even says in the SVA manual that they may not say 8.8 (or whatever).
HTH,

Go to the scrapyard and take some bolts out of something. I went down one afternoon and spent an hour filling a bag with seatbelt bolts and fixings (all marked 8.8 and 7/16 UNF). You'll find something to suit your application. Only cost me a couple of quid too !
