m10 x 1.0, it is fine thread. seatbelt fasteners are also very hard, usually grade 10.9 or better. i think it is about 26mm long.

Dave,

Usually when you buy new seat belts, they come with their own hardware, bolts, washers,etc. The info that Scott is pretty acurated.

The original Seat belt bolts have the thread as Scott said but they also have a larger smooth shaft that allows the seat belt to rotate. They are a very hrad bolt ( grade 10+) that will be nearly impossible to replace other than the original part. I would contact Mike Basso at Things Unlimited as he will sell you the correct parts for a fair price. If he is unable to help you I have some spare seat belt bolts that will solve your problem. I highly reccomend you use only the actual part. K-mann
