Thread size for Disco Floor

[Stumpy1]

G'day,

Finally have enough time to myself to knock up my rear draw system that I've been thinking about for the last 12 months.

I am going to use the existing threaded holes in the floor which had black plastic plugs in them. I think they may be for the rear seats option?

Anyway, I asume they are metric but have nothing to test fit before I make the 50 minute trip to the hardware store.

Can anyone help me with a size please? Looks to be around 10mm

Not much help but they arent for seats but i do know that they are some kind of odd imperial size from memory.

In my 1997 Tdi those threads are 7/16" UNF, (seat belt anchorage size), threads, have just checked with a test bolt. Gaz

Thanks guys, 7/16 is on the money. It took a bit of mucking around but I tracked down 4 bolts out of my 700kg bucket of assorted bolts. Most of my collection is metric so I did very well to find these lol..

Not an odd size at all. Very common in fact. I still sell more NC & NF taps and dies than metric. Many of my trade customers tell me how much they hate metrics and wish we had never changed.

True, i thought it was something else, i remember reading posts where the size couldnt be determined.
