Seat belt hardware (1 Viewer)

[cruiserboy14]

Hello all. I have an April of 77 cruiser. I recently purchased specters seat belt set. My problem is I no longer have the bolts for my passenger side. Toyota says the bolts don’t exist and I cannot find them in my spare parts bin. What does everyone do for replacement bolts?

I think, 7/16 fine thread will work as being close enough to the metric hole.

So it looks like it’s not just a bolt, but a series of specific washers too. Hmmm.

I’m working on seat belt stuff too. I needed to replace a missing jump seat buckle. An 88 4Runner rear center seat belt had an almost identical match. Here’s a hardware comparison between the FJ40 hardware (in the baggie) and the 88 4Runner hardware. The hardware may be available under a different vehicle p/n.

The one that secures the main retractor assembly should only a lock washer. The other points all have to swivel. The reason it needs nylon collars to prevent the bolts from being so tight so the seat belt won't move.

@Living in the Past I’ve found most of it at Ace Hardware. I still can’t find the correct spacer/washers that sandwich the seat belt point.

@SuperDuperCruizer ill look into that. The bolt looks right..

Per sae spec, seat belt bolts are 7/16-20. If you grab bolts out of a toyota, you’ll find a m14 head with 7/16-20 thread.

Might check Lowe's and Home Depot. I've gone thru thru the drawers in the hardware section and found items. Not sure Coper State nut and bolt is in Tucson. I have one close to my home in the valley. They have a large selection as well. Just be sure to take the the pieces your looking for off the driver's side. My first choice would be a pick and pull wrecking yard to locate some that would work.

Echo @GRM and @Living in the Past .....go to the bone yard and check out all the Toyotas.

Kudo to @brian .......several months ago I saw where he recommended Bel-Metrics....I have used them twice and really impressed with their service and products.
