Default Heritage seat attach question

I have a 2002 Heritage that the prior owner used a corbin seat on. He used a nice (shortened) button head bolt into the frame to cover up the seat attachment holes (?) in the frame. I want to put the original seat back on without the passenger pillion, but have nowhere to screw in the side attachment bolts on the seat. The holes that the button head bolts go into are around 5/8" and the seat attachment bolts are 1/4 - 20.

Can someone please tell me what is in the frame 'stock' to accept the seat attachment bolts? My local Harley dealer had a couple of young chuckle-heads behind the parts counter and were of zero help.

Thanks guys!

It is a bolt that has a threaded hole in it. You just unscrew them with a socket or wrench and bring them with you so they can see what you need.

Thanks for the response. I thought I would have to drill and tap my own. I do not have these bolts in the frame, they were removed and replaced with nice button head bolts. That is why I can't attach the stock seat in solo form.

I looked on Bike Bandit's microfiche and they dont' show the part or part number.

I wish we had good parts help in Reno.
