Ordered rods, mains and head studs from Summit today. I searched around locally and couldn't find a better price on all parts. Some places one part was cheaper, but others were 10 bucks more.

Quick and easy = Summit.
:wink:

P.S. thanks for the #'s subsonic.

subsonic, thanks for checking this out, I've been wondering this for awhile.
Are you goign to try to arrainge a group buy for the 1.6TD rod bolts?

subsonic · « **Reply #77 on:** May 07, 2007, 08:39:49 am »

Summit appears to be the cheapest. I will contact them and find out if they will offer any discounts for bulk buys.

Contacted them today. No volume discounts. Sorry.

Got mines last week, they look great and installing in 2 weeks or so after the motor is ready. :wink:

$120 seems like alot for bolts. Would I get by with stock bolts for a 1.6 N/A?

They are stronger and reuseable unlike the stock bolts. You can get by just fine with stock. The ARP are supposed to be better for modded engines.

rx7145 · « **Reply #81 on:** May 28, 2007, 08:41:22 pm »

OK I'll go with stock for now.

Well now,
there seams to be a run on the 1.6TD ARP Connecting Rod bolts

I ordered mine a few days back and was told that they are now on back order. Hmmm... Lots of building going on in diesel land?

He doesnt show the cosworth head studs but Im sure if you ask he will be able to get them

subsonic · « **Reply #85 on:** June 03, 2007, 07:33:14 am »

Yep, sure looks that way. My con rod bolts are on back order and I held off on the mains. Perhaps a few phone calls are in order.

Well imagine my suprise. The brick and mortar for this web site is 10 min. from my work. I went and talked to the owner. He orders his ARP stuff once per month. He had just placed this months order. Some yahoo from Kansas just picked up his last main studs kit :lol:
I talked to him about the Head Studs. He said that he does not stock that part because he does not see that many Cosworth Escorts :shock: . I informed him about the cross fit of these parts for our Diesel applications. He looked up his costs for this part and it was more than Summit's. I talked with him for a while and he said he might be able to match the summit price. He will look at his price structure for offering these three components as a package deal.
I informed him of the back order status of the con rod bolts from summit. He informed me that it may just be summit. He will call ARP and check availability.
He group orders with another vendor in order to get his better prices. If he orders early, they wack him with some additional fee's.
If he can match summit on the head studs, than this will be the best deal going, even with shipping costs. Of course the walk in the door pick up will save an extra 6 bucks

He will e-mail me tonight about this.
He may just update his page, or pass on the info to me, who knows. It would be helpful if we could give him a rough idea of interest. He was worried about shelling out a bunch of cash for stock that would sit and not sell.

Let ya know as I hear something. Jim

Well coolness.

Look at the thread I just started and you will see where those mains are.

Tell him thanks by the way...

I will be buying stuff from him for the 302s I have to build in the future.

subsonic · « **Reply #88 on:** June 06, 2007, 02:08:01 pm »

Here is a copy of the e-mail from the owner of www.headbolts.com .
He is going to place a order next weds. He is going to order 2 sets of rod bolts, 2 sets of main studs, and 1 set of head studs. I am going to take 1 set of rod bolts and one set of the mains. I may return my head studs to summit. They neglected to tell me about thier 10.00 "handling fee" that goes with the "FREE" shipping. If so I will be buying some head studs from him.

If anyone else wants some, they should order before next wed so he can get it in on his order to arp. He does not have the Head studs listed on his site. You will need to send him a e-mail at [email protected] .

okay this what i found out so far
on the june 31 I placed my stock order , at that time
I had the mains and the rod bolts on the shelf so I did not order more ,
then I sold out overnight of my stock , then I drained the stock of to
other warehouses ,they had already placed there stock orders again they had
them on the shelf when they did the order so they did not order more ,the I
got the ones they had
so I am waiting for my stock order to come in
it is looking like I will place a small emergency stock order next weds,
maybe sooner but i can not place that one untill i get the last order
so far it looks like I will order 2 sets of rods and two sets of mains and a
set of the head studs , you have to tell what you are using them for because
if I just list them for the for I will never sell them of course i will not
put them on the site untill i have them in stock

Anyone know if the head and main studs fit the 1.9TD as well?

subsonic · « **Reply #89 on:** June 06, 2007, 04:47:22 pm »

Prices as follows:

Head Studs--118.95
Main Studs--99.99
Con Rod Bolts--89.99

Shipping-- 6.95 continental US

This beats summit hands down.
He said he will not ship to Canada.
I may be able to help with that since I can just pick up at his shop. I don't know whats involved with the whole cross border thing.
