Recaro seat nuts?

[DAC]

Hi all, I'd like to know the thread size (eg. M4, M5) for the dome nuts that secure our recaro seats in place? Thanks

[Raymond6]

The tread size is M10 x 1.25

Thanks for that info, Raymond6

Trying to secure our recaro seats from theft. Not so easy :|

Due to the fact that mitsubishi has speced our current dome nuts with a thread pitch of 1.25 as opposed to the world standard of 1.5, it makes it impossible to buy any "off the shelf" security type fasteners :(

I guess its all up to you Raymond6... Good luck & please let us know when they ready

Their is one possibility if someone has a centre lathe I can purchase some nuts and modify them the nuts are only $4.50 each the thing is once they are on you need a special spanner to get them off and the spanner cost over $300.

On top of this they have not been tested although the material they are made from is super strong it all depends on how good a thread I can machine tap into them.

So let me know if you have access to a medium to small centre lathe and I will see what I can organise until the testing of my prototype nuts has been completed.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has a lathe we could access.

Btw I noticed that the front of the seat uses dome nuts & the rear uses hex head bolts. Is the thread of the hex head bolts also M10 x 1.25?

Do you know the length of the hex head bolts? I might be able to change these to say allen key heads...

that would be better than a 300 tool to buy with these "special" nuts. nutters who steal seats probably wont have a set of allen keys on their person.
