: Back seat retainer screws?

On a '70 Malibu, can anyone tell me what the size and thread pitch is on the 2 bolts that hold the back of the rear seat in place? They screw into 2 little welded brackets down near the bottom edge of the sheet metal behind the seat back. I'll be danged if I can find any bolts that fit!

I KNOW somebody on this list knows exactly what they should be.

Thanks folks, and Happy New Year!

Mike,

These are NOT a standard machine screw, so I don't think thread pitch applies here. They are like a large sheet metal screw with a hex head (7/16" or 1/2", can't remember which) and a large diameter attached washer.
