Seat bolt size..Anyone know?
It looks as if the bolts that hold the seats are pretty normal. Does anyone know the size? I have access to tamper proof screws and I want to make sure I get the correct size. Thanks.
you also have to get the thread diameter and pitch. I would imagine they are 6M*1.0 or greater. As long as you get the thread diameter and pitch, you can use any head size you want.
They are definitely metric, which can make finding specialty bolts a pain in the ass.

I suspect they won't.
The S2000 uses metric bolts. Standard bolts, even if approximately the same diameter, will have vastly different thread pitches and counts (threads per inch).
6/32" is 4.7625mm, which is too far from 5mm to fit right, even if the threads matched.
I would advise you take the bolts to a place like autozone (who has a nut/bolt display so you can figure out the exact size). I can guarantee that tamper-proof bolts in metric are going to be VERY, VERY hard to find.
home depot basically stopped doing metric a long time ago, and Lowe's has a pathetic selection. I have found that army surplus stores are a good place to find specialty metric stuff. Also, there are fastener supply stores in almost every major city. I think you can find them in the phone book under FASTENERS most likely.
