Mk2 Escort Ghia Seat mount bolt Thread pitch etc

Hello Guys
 
Going to test my seats in the mk2 before I decide if I need to raise the seat what is the thread pitch size of the factory bolt. as you know the nut is welded into the seat subframe so cannot bring it to a nut shop to test lol cheers

    It will be metric, all mk2s are metric  8mmx1.5mm i reckon, its the same as a bonnet/boot mount bolt thread from memory

    Pretty sure it is not metric as I have had to buy some before and all I can remember is that they are NOT normal metric.  They take a 11mm spanner on the hear thoguh, and I suspect they are imperial and another left over from Mk1 imperialism.. (some other body bolts on Mk2's are imperial...

    Just my 2.2c worth including GST....

    Just to let you know the thread pitch on those bolts is very slightly fifferent.
    They are very close - but not the same.
    Good luck.
    P.s. Let me know what thread it is when you find out - i am missing a couple.

    ok just by luck i found a random bolt floating around whilst welding rust around the strut tops tried it and walla it worked i shall go to the shop today and grab some and put up the size! Pain in the ass trying to mount custom seats made for a "L" into a ghia only plus side is the seat is lower then stock and feels comfortable!

    Yeh i have yet to sort seats out and i'm not looking forward to it.
    I wanted to get mine modded and covered but @ $800 a seat i think not!
    Making the bracket will be easy enough i guess but positioning!???
    Keeps us posted how you go.
