Chris,
GREAT find! BTW you can use the flanged type if the screws that hold the large rear panel with the rear window in strip out.
According to Parts Book 78Z / Section 23 - Body / Page 23-4 / Figure 23.010 Rear Cap, Pillar and Panel / Key - None / Part Number
722427 / Screw - rear access panel to RH & LH pillar & roof cap (1/4" shank) (hi-lo)
I have NO idea what (hi-lo) means!

Subject: [GMCnet] Re-anchoring seats and the couch
Just wanted to share what we found for re-anchoring our seats in our coach. Most of the original wood bolts had become stripped and
were no longer holding down part of our seats that should be anchored to the floor. Then I discovered EZ-lok inserts, which anchor
to the wood, and then bolts thread in to the inserts. Looks like they are commonly used on furniture and are supposed to hold up
well over time. We ended up drilling out the existing holes slightly, putting JB Weld on the EZ-lok inserts and screwing them in to
place with a large hex wrench (see pics below). We gave the JB Weld a week to set up completely then bolted down the seats using
new 5/16" bolts. We ended up using the EZ-Lok 5/16-18 inserts, a 25-pack on Ebay goes for around $9. They're the perfect size for
the 3/4" plywood floor.
Pics of the hardware is here for better illustration: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g6731-couch-re-anchoring.html
Hope this helps others that may run in to this issue.
Chris
