Retrofit Rear Shoulder Belts - need bolt

Hi, I'm installing rear 3 pt belts for the kiddies in my 86. I need the bolts for the top mounting point under the parcel shelf and was wondering if anyone know if they neededd to be ordered from Porsche/Pelican or if they can be picked up at an auto parts store (i.e. they are of a readily available size).

I've searched lots of threads for installing rear 3pt belts and could not find specific mention of the bolt needed..

Cheers.

scratch that, a slightly more clever search turned up the size 7/16UNF but the question stands: Can these be picke up easily at parts stores?

I am GUESSING they may be hard to find. As I remember every car sold in the USA has SAE thread seat belt bolts because of the DOT. They usually have a wide shoulder area to allow the belt to move while the bolt is tight.

Maybe a sealt belt expert can point you to the correct bolt. Good luck.

I tried several big box and smaller parts stores in my area with no luck.

I ended up buying them from our host
