Bolt Size for Child Safty latches in 1996 850 850 1996

Does anyone know what size/thread bolt is used to attach the child-seat latches on the back of the seats of a 1996 850 wagon? The manual says "consult your dealer" but I don't want to buy a $6 bolt.

It turns out the bolt is an 8mm bolt ~ 2cm long. Price at Volvo was not $6, but was $3.97. Price at local hardware store $0.96. Still a rip-off, but not nearly as hard to take.

I always purchase the kit from Volvo, part #9475763, which I have in my notes at $8.23 list. Yes, it's a glorified bracket and bolt, but you know what...it's your child...you always buy the biggest crayon box, don't you.

Since this is a critical safety item, I would invest in the $6 bolt. Anything you can pick up at the hardware store would not likely meet the stress requirements that was designed into the OEM bolt.

Have you just tried calling the dealer parts department and asking them? Sometimes those seat safety bolts are free.
