 Posted: Fri Nov 01, 2013 4:25 pm Post subject: Hardware for 2.1 Engine + Misc other locations |
 |
|
I'm rebuilding my 1986 2.1 WBX, during disassembly galvanic corrosion has claimed a few fasteners. The exhaust studs are much worse for wear as well.
I started pulling out the hardware to determine what sizes and hardness I needed and darn if I didn't end up cleaning and cataloging the whole mess of them!
Thought I'd post what I have here so that others seeking replacement hardware will not need to do the figuring I just completed.
All sizes are metric. The length was at times up for interpretation so what length I chose was very close, a few mm's either way most often will make no difference.
I've stumbled upon this web site which lists every piece of hardware needed. I usually just use Fastenal but may give this outfit a shot.......
https://www.belmetric.com/flange-bolts-jis-109-m8x125-flange-bolts-c-2_68.html
How the sizes are written.....
All bolts are standard Hex Head unless noted other wise, also all are machine threads unless noted otherwise.

As predicted, it appears the site has vanished. Does anyone know if the info is currently available elsewhere?
