    Para, do your holes have captive threads on both or are they straight through holes?

    I have two holes with captive threads. Devon, Kombi conversion.
    Both sides, go with a lap belt that goes on a buddy box in the walkthrough that has an optional sketchy seat back frame. So my bus had 6 seats with "seatbelts" .

  3. I’d have to check when I’m back down the workshop Chris
    It’s a two hour round trip so not easy to just pop down.

    Cheers, no rush, just curious.
     
  5. The holes in the tubs should have captive threads, although they may be rotted out (with the panel that holds them).

    The metal seems robust, but I'm going to have a proper tap,tap tap at some point soon to check. I'm guessing the nut and bolt is a PO bodge as the short stalk part is the wrong way round for the push button release!
     
  7. Nut andbolt should be ok, but I'd put a reinforcing plate under the tub.
     
  8. Aren't the threads in the tub a non standard type? Mine in both tubs were a very fine thread that wouldn't accept a standard bolt, or maybe just a brazzer quirk?
     
  9. They're Unified - 7/16" UNF? The seat belt bolts aren't metric.

  10. Can you put your phone in the gap under the seat tub and take a picture chris

  11. Might still be Unified on a Brazzer, although you would think they'd have gone metric (whatever the "modern" size is)

    Almost all seat belt bolts worldwide are SAE 7/16" UNF regardless of manufacture, although some people think, wrongly, that they are 11mm.

    You win the prize, I could not see the upper captive nut at all. Sorry for the crappy ohoto IMG_20231221_163419591~2.jpg
