You local auto parts will probably have them. Take one of yours with you and match it up. The other place to try is a wrecking yard. I used bolts etc out of a Honda. The threads were the same 7/16-20 as in the Bronco much to my surprise. I would give you better information but I did the seat belts over about 20 years ago.

If one doesn't pop up, you can buy an oem correct seat belt bolt, unfortunately you have to buy a set of four. They have the shoulder that allows for the belt to swivel.

Thanks! I'm a moron I guess. I've been looking for these online since Saturday! I've even looked on CJ's website.

Thanks again!

Saw the same style bolts in a 74 pick up today. The seemed to have a rust problem. I couldn't get them out to see how long they were.

We don't have any junk yards around here anymore with vehicles much older than the 90s. Everything went to scrap yards. Sad really.

I am going to another yard tomorrow to get parts for my import. I will see what I can find. I will take along a persuader and see what I can get. I willing to bet that Ford is still using the same bolts they were using in the 70's.

A little long will not matter, they stick out the underside of the floor but there is nothing to interfere with. A torx head.

Good catch Roundhouse. The two outboard bolt holes are free and clear, but the two inside bolt holes are over the gas tank with limited clearance. Attached is a photo of the OEM bolt. The ones I referenced earlier from CJ are a side-by-side match. Please disregard my earlier assessment that length would not be an issue. (Perfect place for a "that's what she said" refrain)

Did you get your bolt? I just looked in my bolt supply. I have 3 types. The ones like you pictured I have two lengths. I am guessing that the shorter two go over the gas tank.

I would take a picture but my camera is old and my software for W-10 is new. I need to spend a little time to get them to work together. Looks like I need to do something with my contributor status also.
