Bucket seat studs

[Glenn's hc]

So I recently had my seats redone ( buckets) on my 70 superbee. At some point in the cars life someone cut the studs I would guess to get the nuts off, they left the spacers out under the seat tracks, drivers side only . So the studs seem to be welded in? And I can't get them out. So my question is , any ideas getting them out, and who is selling the studs like the originals? I was thinking of just cutting them down and installing new nuts and bolts in the alternate square holes in the tracks, but I'd rather do it the right way .

good luck. I have never seen reproduction studs for sale. After talking with several people it sounds like using fully threaded carriage bolts and tacking them in with a welder is the way to go.

I've read the same thing on other treads, 5/16 carriage bolts, problem still I'd getting the old ones out
