So these seat belt mounting bolts are the same on my T3? I'm still not convinced they are 7/16" english. First off the thread and shank O.D. is exactly 11.0 mm, which is at least 0.010" oversize from the 7/16" callout in the Machinery Handbook. They also are labeled "8.8" which is a IS0 metric grading system. I haven't had an opportunity to measure the threads or compare them to anything. It's possible the 7/16 would fit the mounting nuts, but still not be the correct size (just really close).
