Terry, Perhaps the ones in your Vanagon are zinc-plated. However, the seat belt bolts on mine are cad. Much if the hardware as you say are zinc plated. But there is also quite a bit that is cad plated. The point I was making is toxic or not it is not that critical to me since there is already hardware present in our big boxes of bolts which are plated as such. BenT |
