I believe from what I have researched that they are a SAE thread, with a metric head. 7/16-20 converts to 11.1125 x 1.27. So they are very close to a M11x1.25 but not quite. This info comes from the FMVSS 571.209. See this link here: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title49-vol6/pdf/CFR-2011-title49-vol6-sec571-209.pdf "(f) Attachment hardware. A seat belt assembly shall include all hardware necessary for installation in a motor vehicle in accordance with Society of Automotive Engineers Recommended Practice J800c, ‘‘Motor Vehicle Seat Belt Installation,’’ November 1973. However, seat belt assemblies designed for installation in motor vehicles equipped with seat belt assembly anchorages that do not require anchorage nuts, plates, or washers, need not have such hardware, but shall have 7/16–20 UNF–2A or 1/2–13UNC–2A attachment bolts or equivalent metric hardware. " What are you trying to do that prevents you from using OEM fasteners? Or are the factory threads damaged?
