Hey guys. I am pretty much rebuilding an S4 shell from boxes of parts. I have no nuts and bolts to put it back together with. I know they are mostly a common size, but I would like to have a shopping list to take to the store with me.

I got some of them from here: Master List Of Thread Sizes for 2nd Gen Nuts and Bolts, but I'm still missing a lot. I need:

Power steering cooler
Radiator and shroud
Hood bolts
Oil cooler
Front bumper
Nuts that hold the air tube to the intake
3 bolts that hold the p/s pump to the bracket

Theres a ton more but thats all I can think of at the moment. Thanks

 

Most everything (save suspension bits) is going to be either 6 or 8mm of varying lengths.
Before visiting a store, troll through a junkyard- you'll amass a hardware collection that should see you through for pennies on the dollar.

 

Ahh good idea.

 

A few junkyard tips...
- look under door panels for good, clean 6mm bolts/nuts
- look under the rear seat and trunk trim for even more nice hardware.

Basically, the interior is the place to start.

The worst place to search is the engine bay, usually dirty and rusted but sometimes the only source for weird stuff.

Any Japanese car is fair game.
So are European cars but they adhere to a different spec and although the threads are the same, the bolt heads will be different. Avoid unless absolutely necessary.

Grab any weird spacer, bracket or piece of hardware you see...they may not be immediately useful but will save your *** down the road.
