Re: [T3] '66 seat belts

Sorry Jim, I can't agree with you.  The original fit bolts are not a
true metric size.  If you get a rusted one, it's very difficult to
remove it without wrecking the bolt head.  Most of the aftermarket
kits I've used, and current VW belts, have 17mm-head metric bolts,
but the thread is the same (M12 x 1.5 maybe?).

The adapter I mentioned for very early ones is on page 85 in the
parts illustrations (B48 in parts book), part 14, no. 311 857 761;
M24 x 1.5 to 7/16" adaptor.

19mm is almost exactly 3/4" so this is just .020 less.
The correct wrench for these bolts is 19mm (or 3/4".)
