Yes, I have done a search here. And have found some answers. However, I want to confirm some of the info that I've gleaned, and I would like to find out info on stuff I could not find.

Okay here is question one - I am looking for "nut and bolt" sizes for the following -

Front & Passenger seat mounting (seat frame to tub)
Rear Seat to tub
Front Seat Belt mounting to tub
Rear Seat Belt mounting to tub

Bolt size for "eye to eye" (loop to loop) SHOCKS for rear and for front "hoop" style mount.
Also, in regards to the shocks, how torque'd down should they be when mounting to the chassis?

Thank you in advance.

the seat mount bolts are 5/16" x 18 NC, 1 1/2" or longer depending on how thick your carpet is.

Something to remember on your quest for bolts, is that they have grades and markings describing each and required for each of your applications for strength.

Three lines on the head = Grade 5 'Steel'
Six lines on the head(triangle or "delta" on the head)= Grade 8 'Alloy Steel'

Also take note that stainless is slightly weeker than a grade 5 bolt.

You can quote and believe me on this from experience ;D
