What type of seat are you mounting?

A stock HD seat (at least in 2003) required a nut adapter (PN 52720-00A) that reduced the size in the frame to the smaller screw that is on the seat.

A Mustang seat (for example) uses larger bolts that go directly into the frame so you remove the seat-retention nuts.

I don't know the sizes of the two threads, but the 1/2-13 sounds like the tapped hole in the frame.
