tsidrift1 thanks for putting up your order! So would you happen to know the exact quantities for one car? Would you mind taking a shot of your engine bay and point out all the locations you used the stainless bolts.

So the zinc coated ones are better for engine parts cause of heat cycling or not as corrosive due to dissimilar metals?

Thanks again to both of you! Been wanting to do this but didn't want to drop serious cash on just pretty bolts.

 

I dont have an exact count. I just pretty much did everything on the core support and fenders. Anything that touches blue paint, I replaced lol. I want the gold zinc coated bolts for the engine, just cause thats the way it was from the factory. I always like a clean engine bay where the gold zinc coated bolts and brackets arent corroded.

 

Have you tried Fastenal?

 

Thanks for posting this! I had an idea to do this one day and this thread just made things way easier.

 

I have looked. The problem is, I am looking for the specific, head flange metric fastener with gold zinc coating. What I have found, but would take forever lol. Go to a local pick and pull. I get under the dash's of any mitsu and take and gold zinc bolt I can find. Being under the dash and inside, they are all still gold and look new! lol

 

I bought these for $1 a set, shipped. (set=1 ss bolt, 1 washer)

 

Link?

The store I bought it from doesn't have any in their store but these are like it. It's 20 sets for $25, not bad. The quality is legit, I'm happy with them.

 

Thanks for the info on the bolts little stuff like this make a big difference in the bay.

 

sure looks good.

I'll have an exact count of the ones needed for the engine bay. They sell the ones tsidrift1 has at ACE Harware as well, for those that don't want to order online.
