I'm trying to update my parts required list for the roadster and i was wondering if anyone had a list of HT bolts required for the car?

I know that i'll be needing 24 M12 x 75mm bolts for the suspension, but thats about it so far. Also what pitch of thread do people normally use?

Also where does everyone purchase their bolts, nuts and washers from?

Finally does everyone just tend to use nyloc nuts for all of the bolts or only in certain places?

Cheers

You'll also come across some right awkward sizes in the build. Propshaft to Rear diff has some horrid sized bolts in it. The bellhousing to gearbox are fine threads. Flywheel bolts are specials that you have to change if you take em off.

As a rule of thumb I use a nyloc on any bolt that sits on a moving part I.E. Suspension. The rest are just torqued up right, same as a production car. I mean, how many nylocs do you come across on a production car?

Edit: I'm lucky enough to work with a fastener company at work and as a result can pick up most any bolt size (imperial or metric) without a minimum order quantity.
