Justa WAG: seat pivot bolts for a later than '72? (the shoulders, washer heads, and polish seem like visible trim pieces)

Familiar with the 68 through 70 C3's. Don't recollect ever seeing anything like these.

Thread size? Are they stainless? If so. they may nevertheless be mildly magnetic. Test they're ferromagnetic by comparing with a known steel bolt. The steel bolt will be much more "sticky." I don't think there's a stainless fastener anywhere on a C3 that I've worked on.

Locate any open threaded hole and see if they will go in. Hope that helps!

They obviously are used as a pivot point, being a shoulder bolt, so, depending on the size, they could only be used in a few places.
Seat back hinge, seat belt, wiper door, headlight door, etc. Might not be oem, which would make the search harder.

It's hard to tell the drive head... Phillips or Torx or Allen...
My '67 has no such fasteners that I can recall. If Corvette, I think these are much later in the C3 or C4 era.

Except for the head, they look like the pivot bolts for the vacuum can on the wiper. I know 73 or later did not have them???? Jerry
