The main anchor points should be the same thread size - 7/16 fine if memory serves. It's an industry standard size for seatbelts.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there’s no 7/16 bolts fine or corse thread on a 80 series Land Cruiser 😎

And you'd be wrong. I can't find a link to prove it at the moment, but it's a DOT requirement that became an international standard.

I wouldn't have believed it either, so I did look it up at one point.

With out the link,I would not tell another member there wrong 🤨
I changed my seats out and I think I would remember if I had to use a 7/16 wrench to remove the seat belts
 
Not really I said I would go out on a limb.

To be clear a quick google search and it appears that you are correct in that the threads are indeed SAE.
Some said that 11x1.25 MM is the same.

I’m away from my 80 for the weekend or I would go out to the shop to verify 😉
Also, isn't that what you did?

It may not take an SAE wrench, but the threads are SAE.

Kinda splitting hairs on that, but I get it. I won't take offense if you don't. ;)

Trust me, I was absolutely sure whoever I saw post that info first HAD to be wrong. I was looking it up because I wanted anchor bolts for the rear seatbelt mount points and I couldn't find anything in my bin of random metric bolts that fit. My memory isn't good enough to remember the exact size with certainty, but I can say with confidence that I used SAE hardware and it fit like it belonged there. No bubba threadlocker crossthreading required. :hillbilly:

7/16 and 20tpi translates to 11.1125x1.27, so 11x1.25 might fit close enough to not matter, but that's not exactly a common size. More likely that people are assuming that it HAS to be a metric bolt.
