FD Engine's Bolts full kit
 
Hi,

Since my 93' engine bay is full of rusty bolts, I was looking for a replacement kit to replace them all.
I stumbed upon that titanium kit (below) on ebay.
Looks very nice to me, except the price (+200$ delivered to France)

Do you guys know a cheaper kit ?
Or where I can find a list of all necessary bolts, with their spec, so I can order them separately.

Thanks

Have you considered removing the rust from the bolts you have and/or refinishing them? You could pick up a vibrating tumbler to remove rust. (Harbor Freight sells one that works fine.) There are also companies that can zinc coat them for you.

Yes, I did.
But, I don't really want to bother with this, this time.
thanks for your answer anyway !

I just get a quantity of stainless button bolts and nuts/washers from Amazon. Like SgtBlue points out, most of what you need are common sizes.

Is the ebay ad picture the actual complete kit, or just a snapshot?

tomatoto 06-18-18 01:13 AM

it looks like the full kit...

but I just found another cheaper one (but no titanium), with more pieces :

Probably 90% of those socket-head stainless bolts and washers are available to me as close as the nearest Westlake/Ace Hardware store for less than $50.

For sure ! btw, thanks for the informations you gave previously.
I'll take care of this as soon as I get my 7 back.

If I ever make it to France I want to buy you un cafe - thanks for the thread! Inspired me to spend more money on my East coast car.
