Studs that go through the floor,NE1 repop these, or just head to the hardware store for some bolts?

No repops that I am aware of. They have a unique head that is swedged into the seat track frame itself. You can have the old one pressed out, and then use a bolt through the hole. Tom at R/T Specialties has square-headed bolts of correct length and diameter.


Until total honesty is on the table, we're not even talking about reality...

I got carraige bolts @ Home Depot. Took a file to enlarge the seat track opening for a snug fit. Not factory but it worked great on my 70 Swinger 340.

I had two broken studs on my 67 bucket seats.. Ground off the head of the broken studs and used some carriage bolts... Not stock but they worked fine....

Just make sure you get carriage bolts at least grade 5 - many are not high tensile and I did not think that was a good idea for something keeping the seat down in a crash. Over here in the UK I couldn't get those, so I got some high tensile bolts of the correct length. modified the underside of the heads to make a square locater then welded them in.
