Rear seat bracket hardware and tie-down bolt specs

[ChadH]

I am looking to see if anyone knows the thread size/pitch for the bolts that hold down the seat brackets. I am also looking for the bolt specs for the tie down loops at the very rear of the tub.

This thread gives a part number but I didnt find any specs floating around https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/rear-seat-belt-hardware.58994/

Here's a picture of the two I am after. I am building a platform in the back and need bolts 1/2 to 3/8 inch longer for some birch plywood.

Take them to Ace hardware and use their nuts to find the right size. While you are there you can probably find a suitable replacement.

Already tried that. They dont have anything close here. The next closest hardware store is over an hour away and theres no guarantee they have it either. I really don't want to drive over two hours to find they dont have anything lol

You can take a ruler, measure 1 inch and count the threads.

If you line the two bolts up with each other, do the threads interlock? If so they are the same pitch just different diameter.

I see you are in MT. I would go do it for you as Ace is only a couple miles away, but my jeep is at my beach house 45 miles away.

If you are not in a hurry, I'll check next time I am there.

Yeah I did try matching up with other bolts but same situation I couldn't find any threads that matched up. The metric selection I have close by is very limited. I have to go to town for some appointments in a few weeks and will run to the Ace over there if nobody comes up with info here. I'm expecting though that I will have to order something from Amazon.

Do a Google search for a fastener store, they will have it.

One of the main ones in my town is Fastenal. But there are quite a few and I am sure your bigger towns will have a place.

Thats why I need to know the specs ahead of time. A fastener store that has the right bolt could be as far as 4 hours away from me.

Order a thread pitch tool. The one I like is called Thread Checker. You will use it over and over.
