Wait,,,, I'm not crazy,, perhaps I should have asked "what is the bolt size?"

If you don't get a solid answer, you could take the nut off and take it to the nut/bolt section of home depot/lowes and use the thread and size finders they should have on the walls in the area. Should have a section with labeled bolts poking out.

If you are planning on using an eye nut for a racing harness attachment you should make sure it can handle the shock load. Not sure what the Metric number is for a Grade 8 equivalent but it might be hard to find one like that.

The nut is a 10M 1.5 flange nut.

I just bought eight ARP ones for $42.00 to go with my Recaro seats.

If you want to mount belts, just get these.
