If you're working on your rigs, I'd appreciate it if you could measure all your bolts while you've got everything torn to bits. I'd like to assemble a list of bolt sizes for posting, and the more information I can have the better.
What I'd need:
Bolt Thread Size
Bolt Underhead Length
Special Head Requirements (socket head, button head, low-profile head, &c.)
Vehicle Application
Bolt Application (Useful for alternate materials selection & the like)
There are other factors that I'm not thinking of - so don't be surprised if you get a PM from me regarding your post.
The reason for this is twofold:
1) I'd like to post a reference at the Works in Progress website for everyone - either meaning to substitute bolts for something that will last a little longer, or make things easier to work on later (like brass/bronze hardware for exhaust...)
2) If there's enough interest, I'd like to offer bolt kits for later, with improved material selection. Based upon experience and sound engineering doctrine, I'd select non-steel bolts based upon application and environment.
I'll post a table with RENIX (engine) applications sometime soon - anything else I'm willing to add, upon confirmation. Don't be surprised if body bolts are metric - but engine bolts can go either way.
What do I want to add? Everything - if it's a fastener and you're removing it, I want to know about it, and I'd like to hear about it. So, tell me!
I think it's going to be best to post to this thread for anyone with anything to add - but I'll take PM's as well.
