WTB: "Bucket of bolts" from car disassembly

[Stein-man]

Hi, All -

I could post that I need this bolt, those bolts, this clip, that screw, blah, blah.  I would rather post for a bucket of hardware where things are tossed during a car stripping.  Does anyone have such a thing taking up space in the garage?  Thanks!

I would hook you up brother, however the tray-o-nuts & bolts has become the bucket of assorted hardware.  No way to know what's what or which is which.  There is was a guy on ebay selling a complete set of assembly hardware replated, perhaps that business model still exists.  I think he wanted like $200 but all the stuff was clean and shinny.  

 

What might help in your endeavor is to check realoem diagrams for the location and bolt size specs and then order packets from McMaster Carr or Grainger.

 . . . And put Chinese hardware on my '02?  Never!  ?

You would be surprised at the number of people who do such a thing on a "fully restored" 2002! Even more surprised at those that did not replace subframe, trailing arm, or control arm bushings but spent a lot of money on paint.

FYI, W&N  (Wallothnesch in germany) sells all kind of new shiny hardware, engine, engine bay, suspension, brakes, doors, tii components, hood, trunk lid, etc.

I once saw a 2002 at a Concours, trying to win.  His fender bolts were yellow zinced, country of origin unknown.

Shipping from W&N is a killer, I have ordered parts from them.  I think them sending me 5# of fasteners may not be that great of an idea!

Currently 50% off international shipping at W & N.

Hi Rob. I have hundreds of pieces fora 02, but I would like to hold on to the ad not get rid of them as a lot

I will gladly send you pieces if you send me a few photos of what you need.

I only buy new yellow metric bolts, nuts, washer, wave washer, etc from BelMetric in Boston.  I plate clips, brackets and such only.

I’m in between. Anything “structural” get new, yellow plated from Fastenal, British, Belmetric, and others. Replaced is cosmetic. As stated above, if you have a specific need, let us know, most of us have left-overs.

Harry, Chris -

I have been dinged at a 911 Concours for having a non-German bolt on the car.  On my Tii, it's going to be only German hardware - Deka, Graeka, Kamax, et cetera.  That's how I can tell where someone worked on my new (to me) car - the heathen put Taiwanese hardware there!  Thanks, though.

Rob,  What Concours were you dinged at?  Replating German bolts for that purpose is fine.

It was the Porsche Parade at Lake of the Ozarks a few years back. I still won my class.
