Front Seat mounting Bolt ?
Discovered the Driver's right front seat mounting bolt is missing. The seat is only retained by 3 bolts. What size bolt is required and does anyone have extra one? I searched on Google and found it has a T-40 head, but no thread size or pitch. Send PM if you have a bolt.

Thanks for pic, the hole in my floor does not appear to ever had a captive nut. Must have missed it on build. Perhaps a slot in side of mount area and a U-nut can be used. Tried to remove seat, but 2 of the 3 bolts had deformed T-heads due to prior damage. Would never have noticed 1 missing, if I hadn't tried to remove the seat.:-)

RESOLVED! Purchased some 8mm nutcerts (Rivetnuts) from Fastenal. Had to enlarge the seat mounting hole just over 13mm (1/2") to install the nutsert. It collapsed well and bolt mounted into it as OEM. There was never a captive nut from the factory, it was just omitted. All is well, thanks for suggestions.
