Just verified on my 02 WRX, I can not speak for other models/years.

Normal seatbelt bolts are 7/16", child seat attachment points are 5/16", and yes, they are SAE, not metric. (Probably a regulatory thing)

Also from what I can tell visually, the thread depth of the fixture is only 1/2 to 2/3rds as deep on the child seat attachment points and the material surrounding them does not appear as sturdy as the material around the D pillar rear belt tensioner point most of us have used.

I would not use the child seat attachment points in my car for adult belt attachment points, especially a racing harness.
