I feel it is a bit silly to start a whole thread for such a trivial question, but couldn't think of any other way to ask!

What size is the bolt/nut for the rear seat base?

I dug through what seemed like 50 different nuts that came with my car and none of them fit

Some discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=95019

$8.10 each? ha ha ha

or a box of 2000 of the original pressed type... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Shorpioen-11NWS-No-10-32-Stamped-Wing-Nut-Zinc-Box-of-2000-/232300171789?hash=item36162b520d:g:GQAAAOSwc-tY7eNs

Reading the other thread it seems that they are not quite the same as the original.

My 1970 Cooper 'S' had a wing nut screw holding the centre front rear seat, if that helps.

True, but a pressed steel type is a little closer to the original

not even 100% in thread size.
