Whenever I need a new seat belt bolt, I go out and source a "seat belt

There are different shoulder lengths used so the bolt bottoms but
doesn't' prevent the seat belt anchor from rotating, although I have
heard early cars had no shoulder and pinned the mount tight to the
bulkhead.
There are lots of options if you search for a 7-16-20 seat belt bolt.

Mike,
M11 bolts at McMaster Carr? Nope.
M11 bolts at Aircraft Spruce? Nope.
M11 taps at Home Depot? Yup!!!??

Why one can easily find taps but not bolts is certainly a mystery.
But.......... Mike, you are now certainly old enough to realize that
you should never say never. :-)

Actually, head bolt applications seem to have multiple manufacturers
now utilizing M11 bolts.
We now return you to your normal program.
