Allen Bolt

[y26]

Do they make a kit for our cars with these bolts. I order a DP and a billet vac block and they both came with it. Looks cool and wonder if i could them for other parts of the car.. Thanks

The load bearing surface on "hex socket head" screws (as they're called) can be very small. If you are replacing a wide "flange head" bolt with a small socket head, you could damage the material underneath (if it's soft) if it requires a lot of torque. Yeah, you can use a flat washer under the allen head screw, but now it's another piece to get lost.

Still, you're probably safe on non-critical fasteners.

I would never replace critical fasteners in the engine (eg, connecting rods, bearing caps, heads, etc) or suspension, except with original GM or maybe ARP...

There's guy on Ebay that sells stainless bolt kits for our TR's, he may be able to help.
