Just been told that the seat belt and mounting bolts for the rear axle are no longer available.

Bit stuck due to this as I've had to saw through one of the bolts and since lost the other one and the seat belt was completely frayed when I got the car. the seat belt could always be sourced from a car being broken but the bolts are a bit more of an issue as I'd like to fit fresh ones so any ideas where I could source some?

Do you have the one from the other side and we could match it? Bolts will be available from somewhere, you just need the sizes and thread.

Did have...not sure where it is now. Will have to try and find it. That's the problem with the part not being on the car for so long, I put the bolt in a 'safe place' which apparently wasn't very safe.

Numbers from the parts catalogue are M12 x 1,5 x 115.

Try speaking to OPC with the sizes, if not an engineering supplies company. Wolsely group own a few places that could source a bolt.

Will try OPC tomorrow to see if I can get more information such as how tensile it has to be and how far the thread goes then see if the local nut & bolt company can sort something out for me.

Get the seatbelts re-webbed by Quickfit SBS. Good as new: colours available and a fraction of new part price.

Not the seat belt bolts I'm after. It's a seat belt and the bolts to hold the rear axle in place.

Still got all the bolts for the belt but the belt itself is frayed so needs replacing.
