in the process of getting my car up and running. going all out finally. i want to freshen up the bay with new bolts (10mm)

found different parts number for 10mm bolts but which are the zinc/gold bolts parts #? looking to order like 30pieces and i want to make sure i order the right one. tia

 

if ur not in a rush check out boltboys/downstar inc.com, for the bay dress up kit, comes with all bay bolts and beauty washers.i spent 50bucks on it!

 

yea no rush. kinda in that boat where my money could go to better things like finishing my turbo setup/motor/car. bolts are bolts. but ill check it out though thanks!

 

I believe the gold colored hardware is cadmium plated steel. It is no longer used in for most hardware because it is bad for you. You will see that all new-stock from Honda (no matter what you order) is a silver color with some sort of greenish tint swirled onto it.

I myself prefer/miss the gold colored hardware.

BTW: Lots of your non-stress bolts on your car will be made of aluminum because it's 60% lighter than it's steel. Usually small brackets that attach to the chassis or radiator support are aluminum.

 

well, after looking at down star products, i am going to get this engine bay kit instead. prices are pretty good. thanks though!

 

Dana you might be replacing mitsubishiv5's spot, gonna have to call you jdmfanboi now... smh, don't get that downstars crap!

 

the ideal bay is to look clean! im no where near jdmfanboiz! idk if you forgot, but my car is the $50pj! ahah. idk wanye, i want to compliment the bay a bit more since im already going all out on it..(besides brake line tuck)

 

I know where you are coming from, but I wouldn't do bolts from them, jmo...

 

explain! now.!

 

personal preference/opinion. I don't like their product nor paying the extra money because they bought bulk and put them in their own packaging. You can buy the same **** they sell cheaper bud. Have you seen their vehicle? Dunno if they go up there, but if I had a car that had my products I sold, I would want it to be immaculate. Their bondo shaved engine bay on the green bay on their main page is cracked to hell and back.

 

but me buying from them in the quantity i want would cost the same no? send me to where i can a large lump of it on my own and i'll see if thats what i want. ive never seen their cars or bays up close.

 

I don't know a site where you could get the stuff, I buy mine from a local business that specializes in metric fasteners. I bought my oil pan "stud kit" which you can find here for $28.80 which are black oxide studs and zinc plated nuts. Black oxide is capable of rusting, it has very low corrosion resistance, especially considering it's at the BOTTOM of the motor where water WILL splash up onto. I got ALL stainless steel studs, bolts, AND washers which that kit doesn't come with for about the same price, I think it was cheaper, but it was so long ago I can't remember the exact price.
