Bolt Size on seat belt

Need help with a bolt size on the top seat belt harness attachment in the Targa roll bar.
I have a ROW 1973 Targa that never had 3 point seat belts installed. The mounting nuts are in the roll bar frame. I thought they looked like 12 mm x 1.5 thread, but they (both sides) bind up after a couple of turns by hand. Looked inside the mounted nuts, and the threads look fine, but maybe after 45 years they have enough corrosion to bind them up.

Any suggestions?

Those are SAE threads, all seat belts are SAE back then. Porsche didn't deviate.
Common tech question

The threads are either SAE 7/16s fine or 11mm by 1.25. Those two sizes are interchangeable. If using SAE use a grade 5 or higher, and metric 8.8 or higher.
