<![CDATA[Seats!!!]]>So I was finishing up putting in my harness's today and i got to the passenger one and started to unbolt the brackets so i could put the lap belt in for the harness. I started to bolt it all back together and i stripped out the left rear bracket.... So now I cant bolt the seat down and i cant finish up putting the belts in!!! What a night!! Any advice on what to do with the stripped out thing!! I dont own a tap so i couldnt retap the whole thing!! Any advice?? I know there is a lot of non technical terms in here...

You could also use a helicoil on it.

you can try, but i can almost garranty that you will regret it later when you go to remove it. trust me, i have done it in the past (when i started fixing cars as a profession) and learned my lesson. You'll have a much harder time removing the broken bolt in that hole than to rethread the hole.
