Anyone have a master fastener list for SAs?

I think I saw one for FBs but is there one for SAs? Also, where do you guys get factory-like fasteners? I would like to replace some of my engine bay ones. Like all of the 10mm ones and go from there.

Thanks

Genrally speaking if the bolt or nut has a 10 mm hex head the thread pattern is going to be M6 X 1.0.

Go to lowes they have nice stainless or OE looking Grade 8 bolts and nuts there.


Whats a Master fastener list?

I've replaced almost every nut and bolt under the hood with stainless. If this is what you're look to do, my suggestion is to go the Fastenal. The only issue is that they make you purchase them by the bag. bags usually come in quantities for 25 or 50, It's much cheaper this way but can get costly when you flop down $200 for nuts and bolts.

If you just want to get a few, I have found my local ACE hardware had a better selection, but stainless. I recently went to ACE Hardware and paid about $8 for all the water pump and housing bolts/nuts.

The only thing I don't like about stainless is that you can't fish them out with a magnet. Also, they do not have the same strength where a lot of torque is required.

Mazda actually stocks all the fasteners, so if you want factory, you can do factory. it isn't the cheap way to go, but its good for the ~30 bolts you actually see
