Hey guys, i was removing my buddy club rails and it came out fine. Then when i put back in my stock s14 driver seat i stripped one of the rear holes trying to force the bolt in but couldn't for some reason and this is for mounting the stock seat bracket onto the floor. What can i use/do to make the threads? Any specific type or size? any help will be great.
