93 fd bolts

i bought a 93 fd that was completely gutted but is very straight. i am going to restore it completely and had a question. does anyone know of a bolt kit that anyone sells for the whole car, or do i just have to piece it together bolt by bolt? i know the car is metric so do they sell metric rx7 bolt kits


thanks for the help

a lot of the bolts are m6 x 1 in the engine bay. There's some odd ones like mentioned in the above link but most can be sourced at local hardware stores. I use OSH hardware and a local hardware store for my bolt needs.

I see another thread of yours about building this car.

FDs have a lot of wiring and stuff that is documented in the factory service manuals and parts catalogs but those sources won't do a great job of helping you sift through the finer details.

Also you won't find wiring harness kits or bolt kits for this car. You'll need to buy them ala carte or find them at the hardware store. Yes, you'll need a lot of M6x1.0 bolts with the washer heads, about 10mm to 20mm threaded length.

If you're trying to build a complete car I think your only feasible option is to buy a wrecked donor car and transfer. Buying parts for an FD is very expensive, and the donor car will help you see how to put it all together.

Or find the closest "U-Pull-It" lot. Any FC, 2nd generation Probe, 626 etc from the mid-90's should have the sizes and styles of bolts that degeesaman mentioned. Same for at least some of the electrical connectors.

As mentioned already, there are several common bolts used all over the car. I would recommend ordering in bulk the common ones from McMaster-Carr:
