Title: Nuts and bolts thread
Post by: subsonic on October 04, 2008, 02:50:00 pm

Looking to start a thread that will eventually be moved over to the FAQ section by Tyler.

If you can identify what fasteners go where, and give a discription of that item,  Please list it here.

Example:

MK2 muffler bearing  Front 10mm course thread  10cm/ 1/4" long.  
                               Rear  10mm course thread  15cm / 1/2" long.
                                        10mm washer

Grade or hardness would be nice if you know it.

FYI ETKA or the online version of ETOS: http://www.vagcat.com/ will list bolt size, pitch and thread count most of the time.  :)

Really helps out a lot, plus, a little family-owned hardware store in town here has just about every metric nut, bolt, and fastener you could think of in stock.  usually I pick out what bolts I'll need for a job before hand, so I have nice shiny replacements when I do the job.  :)

I'm lucky to have both a Fastenal shop and a Tacoma Screw store close by.
