For anyone that has done a restoration--

[Dhos1]

Just looking to replace a few bolts that look rusted up in the engine bay. I see people doing full restorations and replace every single bolt they say. Where the hell are you getting the sizes from. I looked at a general place like Lowes / Home Depot, but cannot find what I need. I am specifically looking for the radiator hold down bolts...mine are a bit chewed up and need replacing.

Thanks.

Kirbans, Highway Stars, and some of the other vendors have them.

If you want new oem style bolts, hardware stores don't carry them. You'll need to go to a body shop supply store. I have a box of those style bolts from a company called Auveco. I'm not sure if they're even still in business, but these were exactly like the originals only nickel plated.

I found them at Kirbans.....thanks guys.

I have found almost every bolt I've ever needed at Ace Hardware. There assortment of stainless and chrome is impressive.

I good quality restoration shop will send all the original Fasteners out and have them replated with the factory finish such as black oxide / yellow CAD plate or clear cad plate I am currently restoring a car now and replating all my bolts to the factory finishes. Most places usually charge by the pound for your Fasteners to be replated

The engine bay bolts.....for the body only are 6mm, 8mm and #14 sheet metal screw.
I sell a complete kit of either Stainless steel Buttonhead or Machined Hex head bolts that replace all of them. I also just started making the bolts with the collar on them for the hood shocks.

Thank you
Coach

Hey Coach - where do you have a price list for the bolt sets? Also any pics installed online?
Thanks!

I made a SS kit a while back with radiator support, corner braces, battery hold down, hood latch, and safety latch for $20. They aren't stock looking though. They're SS socket head cap screws (AKA 'Allen bolts)

I just installed one of Coach's kits on a customer's car, and I absolutely love how it looks. It had very straightforward instructions, every bolt was clearly labeled with the location it goes in, and the installation was very easy.

I believe the engine bay kits are around $62 or so, if memory serves me correct. They are worth every penny, imo.

These aren't the greatest photos, but here are 2 pictures I took of the engine bay (this was in the middle of doing work on the engine, so please ignore the state the engine bay is in) that you can see the stainless steel bolts on the radiator top plate, and the inner fender bolts as well.
