I believe they're Torx but do you mean the actual bolt size? or the bit size used to remove them? I can't remember off the top of my head but I think they were were like T-15's or something.

I was looking for the actual size of the bolt. I removed them 10 years ago and now I can't find them. Who would of guessed? 😄

The actual length of the bolt? or the threading? or both?
Mine are still extracted so a trip to the hardware store tomorrow and I can find out the threading and length

I'll take both! I really appreciate it! I don't have much for bolts laying around. Was going to run to HD tomorrow and just buy an assortment.

I assume he's going to the hardware store to use their gauge and measure the bolt for you.

A hardware store will probably not be able to help you out safely. This bolt will be metric and it should be high strength. There will also be letters or numbers stamped on the end, which are critical bits of information with regard to the steel the bolt is made out of.

The bolts could fail in an accident, if they are made of cheap hardware store-grade metal.

I'll take my chances. Not too concerned about the strength of a bolt that holds a seat belt guide.

Did you ever figure out what size these bolts are?

The parts manual says they are 6x1x35 Tap 12.75OD. Not sure what the 12.75OD stands for unless it is for the outside diameter of a flange or washer of the bolt head.
