the bolt that bolts the seatbelt into place (CIRCLED IN RED). Honda will not sell it separately so I have to grab one form home depot to bolt my c pillar bar in place. the car was stripped by the previous owner and i am missing these bolts

 

im not positive but i believe those r either a 12 or 14mm bolt as far as taking them out goes. now i think you want what size bolt. just take one out of a friends car go to the hardware store and match it up. SIMPLE

 

On my Civic it was a 14mm.

 

You could take the bolt from the opposite side of the car and take it to Lowe's. They have a nut/bolt section that has a template that you could stick the bolt into to find the right size bolt for your job.

 

im sorry i meant the thread pitch but i think i might be able to get one out of a friends car....anyone know the thread pitch anyway just in case. Where exactly does a c pillar bar mount to

Please, please, please read this thread. It hasn't gotten a lot of attention and it has some really helpful information for anyone on the site who might ever need a bolt size.

Get the part number from one of these sites (try SLHondaParts or HondaPartsDeals):

Edit: Just realized you said they won't sell it separately. I'll check other markets to see if they do.

 

What year and body is this vehicle?

If theres a junkyard close by you can grab one from there alot cheaper than Home Depot

 

94 CIVIC CX HATCH

 

Checked overseas. Looks like it's sold the same way everywhere.

Check for salvage locally.

I think it is a 10mm bolt pitch 1.25

 

can anyone confirm that? you know what fvck it bolts are like $0.25 ill buy a few and try it....home depot is right next door, i dont have much free time to hit the junk yard otherwise i'd just go pocket one

 

You dont buy hardware at home depot...buy it at ACE or another real hardware store.
Home depot is for lumber and drywall...and Lowes is for rubbermade tubs and light fixtures....

It needs to be a class 10.9 bolt and I sincerely doubt that home depot carries this class. 8.8 yes, but that is not enough for seatbelts - you would not want it failing in a crash.
(Class is for metric, grade is for std...theyre not the same!)

 

That's a good point. I wouldn't gamble with this part. It's not just there to hold something up so it looks a certain way.

 

it isnt to hold anything the hatch is stripped no one will be sitting back there and no seatbelts will be used it is for a c pillar only

The rules of bolt class still apply. In this instance I would say:
You wouldnt want the bolt to break off, in a crash, causing the bar to fling off and hit you in the head.
The bolt is still a critical piece. What was safety now moves to suspension, chassis rigidity, AND safety.
A structure is only as strong as the weakest link. Dont cop out on a bolt...

 

so do you have any suggestions

 

Like I said, go to ACE or a real hardware store...not home depot or lowes.
My whole point is that those locations dont carry hardware for automotive...its strong enough to hold a person walking on a deck or hold a fan to the ceiling...thats it.

 

alright thanks i am going to hit an ace up and see what i can get my hands on

 

I really hope you don't forget you put weak bolts in if you ever were to sell the car.

 

im going to replace all my factory bolts with ace hardware bolts ALL OF THEM MUHAHAHA!!!! dude its not really that big of deal for one the C-pillar bar is just for at the show, its coming out right after I really think they are f.ing worthless anyway but thanks for your concern

 

really just to avoid all future problems or whatever i am going to make a trip to the yard and grab some bolts thanks for all the input everyone

 

17mm 10x1.25 for the c-pillar in my eg8

 

thank you sir greatly appreciated!
