Coilover stud nuts

just got some new coilovers and upon removing the old I stripped out a few. Anyone know what size and pitch,? Can I get these from the hardware store, is it even recommended to do such a thing?

I tried searching, was just getting install threads. Thanks!

I had some JIC Magic coil overs a while back, they used Allen-head studs that had a flared head. You installed them from beneath. Got some new ones straight from JIC-Magic.

It really depends on how exotic a fastener it is. Get a Metric thread gauge, find out the size, and look on McMaster-Carr.

Or call the manufacturer and see if they can get replacements.

What Dale said, and also be sure to get a flanged nut for this application. Mazda used them there because they spread the loads onto the relatively thin material better.
