I'll hopefully soon be putting my 88" 2a back together. As I ended up cutting most of the rusted nuts and bolts off with an angle grinder what are the common nut and bolt sizes and a rough quantity would be useful to
There's a fastner merchant in burton I'll be visiting to bulk buy a load

Thankyou please

Oh and stainless or not stainless, that is the question.....

I'm planning on galvanising the bulkhead, chassis, doors and front rad panel to reduce electrolysis

As I expect you are aware, Stainless has a lower tensile strength than "normal" bolts.
For metric bolts I use at least 8.8 or 10.9.

Out of interest. are these all imperial or Metric on a Series??

Cheers
