Nuts and bolts

[Datsun/Nissan finatic]

When disassembling my 620 lots of bolts snapped or nuts stripped and now I don't know where to find hardware kinda at a stand still until I figure this out. Any advice?

They are all metric so find a hardware store that carries them or a fastener store like Fastenall

Autozone sells metric nut/bolt assortment kits. Osh is another good metric source.

Junkyards are another good source for metric hardware.

They more options than any hardware store can stock if you don't have a good store locally.  They may not be the cheapest on some, but more prices for nuts/bolts aren't bad.  They only charge what the shipping costs, so you won't know the cost of shipping until after they've sent the order.  I've never thought that the shipping was more than it should be....usually it's less.

Just be careful to match bolt grade when buying metrics.

Great point.  8.8 metric is equivalent to grade 5.  10.9 = grade 8  12.9 isn't typically used much on vehicles.......that I'm aware of.

ACE Hardware typically has a great selection, including stainless.

I like stainless (mostly supplied by McMaster).

No more frozen thread, or rusty heads :)
