I need one of those nuts that the seat bolts screw into. Anyone cutting up a car? I could use the whole pocket if you didn't want to cut it out of there....might be good reference for me.


Let me know!!


thanks!

I'll be cutting up an 1985 auto very soon

 

 

I have one now that is already cut up and waiting to go to the scrapyard. Let me know what you and we can work something out.

 

This is what I need inside the sqaure. I really need just the nut, but could use the whole section to see what I might need to cut on my car (and to weld back together). Should fit in a small box or a large padded envelope.

Thanks Chad996 for the photo!

 

Is there anything special about that nut? Couldn't you just run to the parts store and grab a new nut to weld on?

 

I don't know.... I assume is more of a flat plate with a threaded hole than a true "nut". The one in the back is certainly flat plate...

It floats around in there to make lining up the seat easier I suppose. I have sparco race seats. I drilled out the rail in the back so I could thread in a second bolt. That was my plan B, but still want to get a replacement for the front.

 

I have a similar problem. I went to go put in my new driver's side seat, and the upper right circle thing the seat bolt is supposed to screw into, is gone. There is just a big hole. What can I do?

 

Same thing I'm planning to do (cut it open, insert new bolt and rock on) or drill all the way through the floor and put a nut on the other side. (I didn't want to drill all the way through the floor...yet.

 

Drill through the floor and put in a good size backing washer and nut. This is also a good time to increase the size of the bolt you are using.
