Help locating seat mounting hardware

I'm looking to retrofit OEM seat rails using Brey Krause seat mounts.

So I purchased a seat rail on ebay but it came with some missing nuts and bolts. Specifically ones that I would need to reuse.

They're the ones circled in the diagram below which mount the seat to the rail.



Was able to find the front nuts (#6 in diagram), but can't find the bolts. As for the rear nuts/bolts, I haven't had any luck at all finding them at all.

Anyone know where I can find these?

Don’t know how helpful this is but I got the recaro rail/ shell and all hardware came with it. I don’t know what bolts are in the diagram as it’s blurry. Are they they the 4 main bolts that would mount to the floor of the car from the rail?

They're the bolts/nuts that mount the rail to the upper portion of the OEM seat. Not the bolts that mount to the frame.

The thumbnail is blurry but if you open the link there's a high res picture. The bolts have a unique collar that key into the rail.

These bolts are very unique, so the autoparts store wouldn't carry them. They have a keyed collar that fits into the seat rail. Also, the nuts for the rear mounts are low profile and have a built in sleeve.

If anyone knows where I can find these, please let me know! Seems like I'm SOL with a useless seat rail without these parts.
