I need to put my jump seat back in for an upcoming trip, and I've lost the 4 bolts to reinstall the center jump seat - Can someone please tell me what size they are?

TIA

Hoping I can buy them at the local auto parts store as we leave tomorrow

Does anyone have verification on what years have both sets of holes ALREADY drilled? I'm not sure if I'm wanting to do all the drilling and removing of seats in my 2011 f150.

If so, what size holes do you drill and what size are the replacement screws?

Your going to have to drill.

The size hole is relative to the size screw or bolt you end up using. My console came with 4 screws unsure of the size now that it's bolted together. You could go to the hardware store and find some large self-tapping bolts and be good to go as the bracket is soft aluminum.

Really not a big deal.

Yeah drilling and moving the seat is a must. I got some self tapping metal screws and I still had to bust out the drill and drill a small pilot hole to get them to bite. And you have to remove the seat to get the drill in there to drill the hole and to use the drill to screw in the screw. If some one says they didn't have to remove the seat to install the console I say their full of sh*t. All I did was unbolt the seats and slid them up and back to reach the bolts. Wasn't that hard at all.

I guess I'm full of ****. No drilling no seat removal but it was on 2010 not sure if there's difference. Apparently us full of *****ters are mechanically inclined. LoL

I could barely even get the socket on the bots to remove the jump seat. There was no way in hell that a drill would fit...unless maybe you had a 4 ft bendable drill bit.

I'll figure it out. How much would you recommend paying? 300? 400? They are hard to come by these days. What do you think?

The reason we 2010 guys are " full of sh*t" is because on the 09-10 brackets there were two sets of hole already in the bracket. The larger holes for the jump seat and the smaller ones for the console. The holes for the console were not tapped but were there so I found the size I needed and then did as app did, slide seats all the way forward and then slid them all the way back to access the holes. With the bracket being aluminum all I had to do was put them in straight and they threaded themselves. Also, a socket will fit fine.

You can drill with a right angle drill without taking the seats out but it is nice to have the room.

I paid something like 340 shipped from ebay. Just keep looking...took me about a month of everyday searching to find one with the color I needed.

Makes sense. Either way it only took like 5 min to unbolt the seat and move it out the way.
