3rd row seat bolts

[timbo2410]

Hi all, does anybody know what the 3rd row seat bolt threads are? The ones that go into the wheel arch.

On my GU III they are M10 1.25

They're steel

Yep, definitely M10 x 1.25 pitch on my 2015 GU wagon.

Nope not M10 1.25 pitch. Mine are a fine thread.

If its not 10 x 1.25 then it will be 10 x 1.0, standard is 10 x 1.5

Thanks for that :-)

Do you have a tap you can run thru the holes? The seat belt bolts to nots seem quite a precise fit for obvious reasons I guess. I typically find the right thread then run the appropriate tapping tool through to clean the threads up as they are usually a bit corroded and also it does not take much to bet them splayed a bit and tight to get in. Also use a smidge of anti seize or even straight oil, makes a big difference and wont negatively affect the load rating.

This is the factory bolt from my rear seats with a 1.25 pitch thread. Does your bolt look like this?

In my car, one of the four has a thread-repair insert with a 1.5 pitch bolt.

Apologies, a wee bit munted relaxing tonight, should there be any consideration for strength grade bolts of potential baby ‘safety’ seats in OEM floors…..4.6/8.8/12+ ?
