    I need a picture of the ORIGINAL (AS FROM THE FACTORY) position/location the front seatbelts were attached. Also, I know that the mount hardware was some type of shoulder bolt. Does anyone know the OME specifications for that bolt? Yes, I know I am being anal but I am trying to do a factory original restoration. You may think it is crazy or even worst but if you can help me please do.

    On my 75 there are holes in the floor with threads. Not sure of the pitch or size, but it is fine thread. The bolts have a round head, a shoulder and Torx type hole.
    I have a few here someplace as I upgraded my OEM belts to shoulder type and replaced. Found one in my bolt bucket, but the other is M.I.A.. here's a few pix

    There you go. The original appearance is yellow zinc plating. I suspect these were used to prevent theft of the belts on the train cars - lots of stuff was stolen in transit.

    Guessing it's 7/16"-20.
