Default Replacing stock retractor with 5 point.

Ok, I'm in the middle of ditching my stock lower seat belt retractor for a forged eyelet mount point. However the size & thread pitch of the eyelet I have does not match (I thought they were all a FMVSS mandated size). The OE bolt is a little bit larger and has a much more coarse thread pitch.

Anybody know what the bolt size & pitch of that bolt that holds in the lower retractor?

Anybody know where to get a forged eyelet in the correct size for the OE bolt location?

if you are going to road race or autocross you are going to have to learn to fabricate and modify parts.. lots of stuff that can be bought for big bucks can be improvized.... the challenge is half the fun of the sport.... aquaint your self with a hardware store a 4inch electric grinder and a welder to get thing that dont go to go.... good luck....
