What size bolts are the seatbelt bolts? Actually also, what size torx are the caliper bolts also? I'm going to go out and buy them and get it over with.

T45.
You need a wrench; you wont get them out with a driver. Not unless you have a really sturdy driver (I broke mine).

Mine were T-47 as well. For the big ones, I bought the 3/8 drive to put on a ratchet or breaker bar.

That's odd. T45 worked fine and didn't jump out of the socket on the seat belt. I would assume they would all be the same... It may well be T47 the caliper bolts are T47 and you can buy it at
www.fierostore.com Of course they're expensive, but they're hard as hell to find. Maybe the T47 will also go into the seatbelt socket and I just didn't notice the T45 was too small.

If you're about to go buy one, I recommend a T500. Much beefier spline, and I've never found a torx seatbelt bolt that it doesn't fit.

Mine were T-47 also. The T-45 was a bit loose.

My 87 has T50. Seems like most cars I've worked on have T50 for seatbelt anchors. (T50 is the only large one I've ever owned... )
In the larger Torx sizes the bit should fit the bolt tight.
Sometimes you can get away with an Alen wrench but I don't recomend you try that.

I use a 3/8" drive T47 bit for my brake calipers and seatbelt bolts. I believe it fits the door striker bolts, too. ('87 SE)
