To the halo on a coupe? Maybe to the floor? Where are you located?

I would have guessed floor but if I'm going to pass on information I thought I should confirm!

To the left of the seat "bottom" cushion? Threads into the rocker! Maybe at your shoulder?

Bottom left of seat cushion: GM# 20229360 - It is still available - you could order it. Have a dealer confirm the number in an illustration for you. Should be maybe $6.

Thanks to wvzr-1 i got the correct anchor bolt in today, However,

This one did not fit either, turns out it IS the correct bolt as is the one i ordered on ebay,

BUT the prior owner had galled out the thread so neither of these bolts would go in easily.

No matter how you look at the thread on the door sill it does NOT looked stripped, but it is, hard to tell but on the top of the thread it's galled which in turn stripped the first 2 threads of the bolt.

So will have to cut this bolt a little, file the thread, and get a timesert in there to get this bolt to work.

Tried using a tap 12x1.75 but it didn't really do any good on the tip of the bolt as shown.

Out of focus but you can see how bad the tip is stripped.

Makes sense why the seat belt was not anchored now.

Just want to extend my gratitude again for the help i sincerely appreciate it !!!!
