I did. Add a few bolts here and there, add a few clips here and there and boom!!! $100 in basically bolts and other little knick knacks to keep things in place.

Ouch!

BTW, I bought extra bolts and other pieces just in case I needed more. Add a few relays and plastic pieces and boom!!! Over $200.

I have not kept track during my single turbo conversion with all the associated upgrades but I would bet I have easily spent over $200. $10 at Napa, $15 at Pep Boys, $5 at Lowes. It is a running joke in my household.

Yep, I spent $140 at mazdacomp a little while ago, and the biggest ticket item in the pile was a $20 fuel tank vapor check valve.

Once I left Home Depot with $80 in bolts, and realized I needed to start buying the stuff by the case if I was going to keep this up.

I know you wont find a FD at the junkyard, but when I am the pick a part, I take a lot of bolts as spares. They are good 80% of the time

Holy crap! Building from scratch?

Does Home Depot carry metric sized nuts and bolts and also grade 8 and higher?

If so, I might have to check them out.

initial D is REAL!

Home depot bolts are ok, but make sure u get the lock and flat washers. The highest wil probably be grade 8.8

Lot of the factory bolts dont need that hardware. The head of the bolt is not as big either, and they come in the correct size. I have no problems reusing old bolts. I would just stay away from used exhaust bolts.

Depending on the aplication grade 8 sometimes should not be used as they are harder and will not bend like a grade 5 they may break easier.

Lowes has a much better selection (and organization) than Home Depot of all types of fasteners. It is not just nuts and bolts; plastic fasteners for fender liners, etc.

I dont even want to think about how much I will spend on nuts/bolts for my f100 project. I think they ALL need to be replaced.....


only spent about 12 bucks in nuts/bolts on the 7 tho....
