Shoulder retractor bolt size?
Just finished retrofitting the '70 with F-body belts and now need bolts for the retractors by the rear wheel wells.
I've found they're a different size than the lap bolt belts....I've made 2 trips to Home Depot today and still dont have the right bolts...
Anyone?

If there has never been a bolt in there it could be filled up with crude. The hole goes right into the wheel well and a lot of junk or rust could be built up in the hole. You might try to run a tap through the hole.

Try using a tap to clean the hole
I have some correct 1/2-13 bolts left over from a recent purchase if you need.
I only needed 1 bolt for the lap belt , but had to buy a set of 6.
they were used originals, just needed a wire brush.
I paid 3.00 each if you want 1 or 2

I cleaned out 37 years of carpet glue and crud and the bolts thread in.
David,
Thanks for the offer but I'm good in the bolt department. I ordered 4 for the lap belts from my local Chvey dealer yesterday.
