anybody know any websites for custom stainless bolts.ford dont do rear suspension bolts anymore.u know the long ones that go threw the rear wishbone thing and holds the lot together

 

We have some in stock, but not sure if they are stainless.

Drop Martin @ MEFmotorsport a PM (details in the sticky at the top of the traders section)

We probabbly wouldn't use stainless as it wouldn't be strong enough though

 

Stainless bolts are alot weaker than normal bolts. IMHO use the corect grade.

 

yeh i will even use normal bolts instead of stainless.thot they might be a bit brittle.
nuts i will get in contact just now

 

If NUTS RuS cant help let me know i have loads of bolts for any RS.

You can have them for free just pay the P&P

 

And if you have any other stainless bolts doing structural work you'd be better off replacing them now too

Top offer from Jano - we can't beat that as ours are brand new shiny ones

 

Brand new shinney ones, beat my used ones

 

someone beat me too it

 

so stainless are ok for non structual, but are to weak for structual? you learn sommat new every day!!!

 

stainless bolts have a lower shear strength than high tensile bolts

 

i wanted to use stainless for my con-rod bolts

 

Good job someone mentioned this, is was going to get some stainless bolts for my rear suspension

 

Most structural bolts are stamped 10.9 and lesser ones 8.8

The highest grade for stainless is A2 which is in between the two above, so ok for light structural but not heavy areas - I would not risk it myself as just like Gareth says they have less shear resistance

 

so if stainless are no good can anyone recommend somewhere for me to get bolts from for my rear suspension and front struts

 

ford?

 

GARETH T tried them and the lady down there was so unhelpful, serves me right for dateing her sister

Wheres Al Bags when you need him he can get his hands on the ford bits

 

new bolts cost fook all to buy
just make a long list pic up the fone and order them
go to ford you will get ripped off completly
