Nuts and Bolts sizes.

[rob1927]

Hello all, I’m rebuilding the exhaust and turbo my van, 1.6 td. And also the brakes.

I want to use new nuts and bolts, there’s an engineer supplies local and I want to buy a selection of new nuts bolts for all the fittings. I’m aware the manifold nuts are a special bolt as are the turbo to manifold bolts.

I’m after a good selection of nuts and bolts for the above work and other general jobs on the van.

What sizes should I buy? Also what different lengths?

I’ve fitted new stuff to the van before and re used the old nuts and bolts but it looks a bit tatty!

Cheers,


Rob.

Buy long you can always cut them down, perhaps two lengths
most stuff is M8 and M10
some hex head some cap head

oh and I use stainless for non structural and 8.8 or 10.9 for structural need to match the grade currently fitted for higher so go for 10.9
