Bolt kit!!!

Landyfox · Feb 20, 2014

Does anywhere sell a complete bolt kit in preparation for a chassis swap! I can guarantee I will either miss some of the list or purchase the wrong ones!!

Land Rover Defender 90 Chassis Bolt Kit yes but it's stainless and I didn't want to use stainless on galvanised.....

£36 bloody hell!!!!

I would've thought stainless bolts would've been ok on a chassis given that galvanising is self healing to degree.?!

Pretty sure you would get corrosion between the galvanising and the stainless as its 2 different metals....I'm just going for bzp bolts.

bzp are normal mate.

loads of places to grab bolts from around newcastle, i wouldn't worry about not having any to hand. just be careful as some counter types are bloody stupid.

I ordered a bunch of stuff for collection just last week. One bit I needed some m8x100 for the gearbox crossmember.. instead of saying they had none in stock, the guy decided to put it through as a custom bolt with a 100pack size. £1870 + vat :lol:

Eh.!!!!!! Bloody hell!!!!

I don't mind searching it's just more fear that I purchase the wrong ones, you'd be amazed how difficult it's been sourcing the normal M8 x25 flanged bolt for the thermostat housing.

I used some stainless bolts on my galvo rebuild 8 years ago, no rust yet. Bolts are still rust free.

Landyfox · Feb 20, 2014

I think I will try and obtain the parts manual and write down exactly what I require a ring around. I want the Right bolts to match the correct size spanners and sockets!!!!

When are you doing the swap? what I hope to do is write a general "parts list" when I do mine because I wanted to find out what other people used when they did their chassis swap but the only thing people seem to say in response to "what parts did you use" is "find out yourself you lazy ...."

Having put the time in, it would show community spirit (I wont say "unity" so as not to offend) to publish your findings on the forum.

In fact, sharing it will allow others to comment and you may find you had missed something or discover something was wrong. :boink:

That doesn't fool anyone, you're too well respected on here to be that kind of fella.!!

There's a thread or two on defendersource.com with a pdf or xls listing most all the bolt sizes for a 90. It's worth a check.
