This might sound stupid but here goes:

If I need to get nuts and bolts for things like the engine mounts/brackets/etc. (not to sound like a cheap ***...just a curiosity question) could I take the nut/bolt measurements and get the hardware at Home Depot since the Honda dealer is closed on Sunday..?

Will most likely carry over into Monday, so might be a mute point........

anyone?

 

go oem bolts i went with the cheap home depo ones and I broke the hex (head) the oem nuts and bolts are stronger hit up a pick a part or junk yard and get what you need you wont be disapointed go with the home depo ones and you will

 

get the higher grade ones and you should be ok. lol i work at the depot and ive actually sold someone bolts for their engine.

 

Guess just the materials are different and the whole galvinization process (?).....

At the dealer, the bolts I need at up to about 50-60 bucks....for all the motor mounts basically....I bought a used block a while back and it came with various brackets and mounts....the rea mount still has the main bolt in it and it looks brand new.....saved myself $6 right there

 

I got my MM bolts at a hardware store. Just go with the same or higher grade.

 

as long as you go with a high grade bolt/nut you will be fine. just make sure that you do not get any bolts/nut for your motor! only get bolts/nuts body, suspension, interior, etc. home depot has steel bolts, and if you try to torque them into an aluminum motor you will have problems. motor mounts will be fine though.

 

thanks for the replies.......and for not flaming me

 

anything above grade 5......have worked at a hardware store is soooo cool......i was always the guy helping the DIY car ppl......i never took them to the low grade bolt section hehe
