Default stainless steel bolts-where from??

Where about do you get your new bolts from, I have tried endless times it the past to get the correct bolts ordered direct from Ford and usually get the wrong items sent So Im looking for a supplier for nice new Stainless steel bolts for my rebuild, a selection of M6 through to M10s for things like Anto roll bars and rear beam mounts, seat mounts etc. Also new Screws and clips for the engine bay area too.

Who do you use??

Look up your local Fasteners outlet in the Yellow Pages, i got every nut bolt and washer i needed in Stainless from my local Fasteners supplier.

MEGA cheap compared to fords prices too.....and they wont rust !!

Try Namrick you can choose all the sizes you need although for rear beam mounts and other suspension bits you shouldnt use stainless steel bolts get some zinc coated bolts.

Too brittle, dont have the same tensile strength as the bolts already on the car.

Ideally you need bolts with the numbers 8.8 on the head
