George Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Before you decide to purchase read up on galvanic corrosion and the differences in tensile strength of stainless steel bolts compared to your original steel ones. Pay careful attention to locations that do require a specific tensile strength. I haven't looked at the bolt kits you linked to recently but have done my research a couple of years ago and will not be using a single stainless steel bolt on my car. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely be using the correct grade bolts for the mechanical components as they're designed to be torque'd to spec, however it seems that these SS fittings aren't even suitable for simplest of fixtures. Will probably purchase zinc plated fittings as I go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 A good place to start is an auto bolt and nut kit from eBay. Something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUTO-NUT-BOLT-KIT-250pc-SEM-SCREWS-PANELBEATING-BODY-REPAIR-JIS-SPEC-ARB-TJM-/222167126855 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffdy Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I got mine on ebay also. Though I forgot the name of the seller, I can say that the bolts are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatoKid Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I used this guy http://www.parts4cars.com.au/Bolts-Metric/ Bolts are correct JDM automotive with captured spring and flat washers etc. Good service too. David George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
