Battery relocation Help!!

I am relocating my battery to the passenger side storage bin. I cut out the storage bin and found the two empty bolt holes that would make perfect grounding points. Does anyone know what size bolts the two holes inside the the bin take? I can't find a match at the local parts store. What are the two bolt holes for anyway did some models come with a back seat. They look like they may have been for seat belts. Thanks in advance.

the bolt size is 12M, but i don't have a clue yet, as what thread pitch it is. I know that the pitch is not 1.75.

M12x1.5 is common - M12x1.75 is not. You must be trying non metric fasteners.

Are you talking about the holes on either side of the hump? The ones made for the rear seats in Japanese RX-7s to bolt the seat belts to the floor. If so it it the same size as the bolt that bolts the front seat belts to the floor. It is a very uncommon size and I couldn't find it at any standard hardware store. I can't remember the size, but I'm pretty sure it's not 12M.

I dont know the exact size of the bolt holes, but i know that it is the same size bolt as the rear bolt for the seat. I am talking about the bolt thats the farthest back, that fifth bolt. I would just use bolt from the passenger seat. The only place that might have it is True Vale hardware, they have a large selection of metric size bolts.
