Please help, I'm in dyer need of some seat belt bolts. Whenever I sell a set of belts, I always include a new set of bolts. People keep on telling me they"ll send em, but very rarely do. So, every now and then I have to put out a plea for help, which I'm doing now. I don't have any issues with paying for them. Please notify me with how many you have and what you need to get for em, and I'm sure we can ultimately get something worked out. The bolts I need have the numbers on the head, as follows. C-01, C-10, C-11, C-12 and C-13. That's the only ones I use.
Thanks in advance for all your continued support, Bill & Robin Edwards

Did you get the ones I sent Bill @70rm27 (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/70rm27_299)  ? I gave you all I had. :dunno:

How are you coming on the four sets of belts I ordered ?

Good morning Blake, I'd like to buy all those bolts, but you'll have to give me a cost. I assume I need to get you paid before we can go any further. Let me know how you would like to be paid. I can pay in any way you'ld prefer. Thanks so much, Bill

Bill, I have no idea what to ask for them. What is the going rate?

Sounds fair. I will dig in my bigger bolt bin to try and make a full set

The only problem is, the gold bolts are NOT correct, and the bolts that private parties have for sale aren't correct either. People list them as being correct for an e body, but they're not, then, when you call them out on it, they jump down your throat yelling and screaming about just how wrong you are. Those people are the ones that believe they know it all, and if you don't believe them, just ask em, they'll be happy to tell you. They're trying to get 6-10 bucks per bolt, hoping they can get someone on the hook. I would NEVER claim to know it all, but I know where the bolts go, and what color they should be. I just don't want to send anyone the wrong parts. I want to thank you for your search efforts, and your time to do so. Best wishes, Bill

I have only a guess. Right now I've been buying them anywhere from $2.00 apiece, to about $5.00 per. The C-7 short bolts were only used in 66-67 A and B bodies, and then, only in the rear. I have a bunch of those, but would still be interested in buying them. Just let me know, the worst that could happen is I'd say no, and I strongly doubt that. Thanks again, Bill

Has anyone found similar bolts at Fastenal or Grainger?

It seems odd to pay so much per bolt if we don't need original bolts.

Is the size that unique?

got a photo of one?  i might have one or Two Floating around.

I'm pretty sure they are a unique thread.  You could probably get replacements at the junkyard really cheap.  They might be longer then what an E-body used but that might be OK.  I don't know how critical the length really is.  I've got a handful of them that I've collected over the years but they aren't the "correct" length for an E-body.

If I'm looking at the correct bolts, it just looks like 7/16-20 (fine thread). It does seem a little difficult to find one with the correct shoulder.
