Seat Rail Bolt Replacement
Hey Lads,
Had a search but to no avail. Pulling out my rear seats the other day I noticed one of the bolts is cooked and also bent....the ones that sit in the foot-well area [IMG]http://www.ionthruster.com/sti/springinstall/1-seat-01.jpg[/IMG] 02 STI so GD. I believe the bolts are the same as the ones that hold the seat rails in place... So I wanted to order in 10 or so and replace the lot with Grade 5 + High Tensile in stainless or whatever is better than the shitty oem ones. The question, does anyone know what size/pitch/thread and length they are? From searching there is conflicting answers - M8 x 1.25, 3/8 x 1.5 Any ideas? Thanks |
Give West Coast Fasteners a call tomorrow, they usually have good quality stuff in stock at very reasonable prices. Take your bolts with you so they can match them up.

Almost all bolts used on subarus are metric or metric fine. One exception is seatbelt bolts. These are 7/16unf.
But i think the ones you have pictured there are just a regular m8x1.25 with a large washer. |
8 X 1.25 for rear seat
10 X 1.25 for front seats |
Thanks for the replies :)
Will source some when I am back in town |

[B] 10 X 1.25 for front seats[/B][/QUOTE] Except for the front seats inner rear bolt. Which is a 7/16 UNF |
i should have some spare when I stripped the car for rally prep (didn't chuck any fastenings out) Currently overseas till next Sunday and give me a yell if you want me to check. I'm SOR

It is worth putting a small amount of anti-seize on the threads too.
And yes Bram is correct. The inner rear bolt on the front seats is a typical manufacturer accepted standard seat belt bolt thread of 7/16 UNC. |
