I wonder if anyone knows what the small allan bolt with a lock nut on it, that exists in the vertical divider between each window in my Acco International 1810B bus.
These bolts are in line with the cross beam of the sliding window above the fixed pane. (See attached photos) I would like to remove them, but am a little unsure if they are important. They are on every divider.
That's a puzzler, they're not on mine, but most likely we have different coach builders involved. Seat belts do come to mind though but not likely. You could try the historic vehicles mob, lots of knowledge there. Cheers Gemmybob

I think these are too small to have anything to do with seat belts. they would only be 10mm nuts. I think they must have something to do with the horizontal bars of the sliding windows. hmm maybe someone else will know. The glue was from the previous owners attempt to line the walls.
By the look of the LH picture they were securing something to the inside of the bus. Did you receive the vehicle with the seats in it? If the vehicle had been used for other uses it may have had a bar secured at that height to protect the windows or to secure ropes to.

Seat belt bolts if I recall were 7/16 UNF 20TPI and this equals about 11mm but not sure what the current ADR is for metric.
