FJ62 rear seatbelt bolt size?

[woytovich]

I'm getting ready to install 62 rear belts into my 60. I do not have nuts to go with the OEM bolts. I read here that the bolts might be M11... can anyone confirm? the complete sizing being... M11x???

I do not have anything that fits in my (I thought) extensive tub of cruiser hardware...!

Would Toyota have these bolts and i so (I know it's alot to ask) does anyone have a part number?

Thanks,
Mark

Well here's what I can confirm:

My local Toyota Parts and Service location cannot match the OEM FJ62 seatbelt bolt. They believe it's M12x125...

2 auto parts stores and 2 chain hardware stores do not carry M12x125

My mom-and-pop hardware store went the extra mile (mm?... inch?) and found that, as someone else had thought in some other FJ62 seatbelt install thread, that 7/16 fine thread fits. Now it seems a little sloppy to me so I checked the same 7/16 nut on a "real" 7/16 bolt and the fit is IDENTICAL.

Conclusion: either these bolts are some very odd metric size or Toyota used 7/16 bolts... In any case I will be installing FJ62 rear shoulder seat belts into my FJ60 using 7/16 nuts on the OEM bolts.

Toyota seat belt bolts are 11mm x 1.25. 7/16 fine is very close and I have seen them used.

Thanks... that is info I had heard elsewhere here on mud... I was unable to find that size nut locally to verify that though.

I finished the install today with a combination of OEM bolts, 7/16 bolts and 7/16 nuts - my 60 has the captured nuts for the top bolt so that is all OEM.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) pulling out the seats and pulling up the carpet to do the seat belts revealed some rust (holes) on the wheel wells above the seat hinge bracket - on that spot where the 3 layers of steel hold moisture... now I have ANOTHER project!

PS Is there a decent source for 11x1.25 nuts out there?
