Interior Seat bolts/nuts

I need to know the size of the nuts that connect to the bolts welded into the floorpan in a stock thirdgen that the interior front seats mount to.

i no longer have mine.

and on a side note what are some options to replacing a missing one.

thanks.

I know a 1/2-13 wrench fits em...but that says nothing about the thread. My guess or answer is this. Go to Abuchons or Home Chepot and but the following: 10mm, 11mm and 13mm threaded nuts and 3/8",7/16" and 1/2" nuts. All fine thread. See which one fits...total cost probably under 3 bux.

They are metric 14mm hex but that dosent help for the thread size inless you get thread profile gage that will give you the correct size.

ugh no one feels like taking one to their local auto parts / hardware store to get a match for me?

guess ill do the buy one of everything.

and does anyone know how to replace a missing one? when i got the car one was sheared off at the plate, i know i could just run 3 but i would like to replace it except after i drill it out i won't be able to get in there.

any ideas?

im pretty sure its metric...a 3/8" nut may work but i think its to big im guessing its a 9mm or 10mm nut but i need to know the thread count.

/these sizes are for the inside dia size as the head of the nut can vary for a given id. but for a loose idea 3/8" nut is typically a 9/16" head and a 5/16" nut is typically a 1/2" head...im going to try and pick up a few metric ones today.

and my request still stands to take a wrench to one of yours and bring it to the auto parts store to get a match if one of you has the day off or something...lol

/and i thought this was going to be easy as going to a website and doing a year make model catorogy search for seats and their corresponding hardware...
