Recommend me a nut/bolt assortment
Hi, I'm after an assortment of bolts, nuts, washers, etc to put my Westfield together. something like this;
[/ebay] ASSORTED STAINLESS METRIC- 330 - NUTS BOLTS &' WASHERS | eBay
Obviously I wont be able to buy a set which has every nut and bolt I need, I just want something that will have some of the bolts I need. On another
note, do people generally use stainless bolts or other high tensile bolts for e.g. seat runners, harness mounting etc.
Thanks in advance,
Dean

These are the people I use, have virtually all that you will need. regarding stainless, I am not an engineer but my understanding is they are not as
strong as a high tensile bolt, so dont use them for engine mounts etc. as far as seat mounts are concerned I would want he strongest I could get.Not
sure if every body would agree with me , but I tend to use cap head screws where ever possible, always have done so suppose its habit , but I do like
them.

Are cap head screws suitable for suspension bolts? As long as they are 8.8 grade? Does it make things any easier come IVA time or do they still need
plastic covers?

And most all cap heads are 12.9 , although im sure some will have made an 8.8 cap head.... afterall, you can buy a 4.2 hex head in BnQ!
I have found few good suppliers of assorted 8.8 nuts/bolts sadly, so would suggest going to a specialist fastener supplier either locally or
online.
The place in Loughborough I went to when at uni would do a handful of any bolt you asked for for a quid or two, and charge no less if you asked for a
single bolt.
- I had a few mixed handfulls off them, but then just bought extra any time I was there for something specific and built stock like that.
