I wouldn't worry about them. You always end up with extra bits leftover when rebuilding something lol

Perhaps post what you did ? Surley you haven't rebuilt from the chassis up ?When I took the Landy apart I was a good (ish) lad and labelled most things up.
I put these six bolts on the windows sill and didn't label them. That tells me that I must have thought it was obvious where they were from. That was two years ago and I hadn't taken my age in to account.
They have a flanged head and nylock nuts. The thread is 25mm long and the bolt is 10mm diameter. Of the six, two of them are cleaner than the other four and so must have been in a less exposed position, although the other 4 aren't too bad. The nuts are in worse condition than the bolt head, so may have been on the outside. On the top of the bolt I think is stamped ATLAS A.8 in a circle with an M between the altas and the A.8
Any ideas welcomed. Thank you.
What is the vehicle ? There are a fair whack of bolts retaining rear seats/clams/brackets which you may not necessarily miss straight away.

You haven't been reading his thread have you?! It is one of the most comprehensive chassis up rebuilds I have seen.
Erm, there isn't that much that is nyloc, most of mine had the springy washer things. Bolts that hold the tub together? Or were they smaller?

I was reading a rebuild thread by "300" where you actually commented a few times. There is a bolt that looks very similar to yours that he posted a pic of when he was working on the window wiper jets (page 2 or 3 from memory) wondered if that would jog a cog? From the same thread there was also what looked like similar bolt heads used for the pedals where they bolted to the footwell - this would also explain why some were more rusty than others, particularly the nuts as they would be engine side. Did you have to cut some off and kept these so you knew the size etc for when you bought more?
This is like forensic land building lol. Damn well hope there's a prize Lol

m6 or m8 for body etc,m10s for more serious items

triangle bush retainers are the only similar i can think of
I'm trying to convince myself that this is the way to go. After all, if it was that serious I would notice it.I wouldn't worry about them. You always end up with extra bits leftover when rebuilding something lol
Yeah, it's a chassis up rebuild. I thought I'd labelled everything and took loads and loads of pictures (Should have taken twice as many). Occasionally, I put stuff in a safe place (like the conservatory windowsill) and forgot to go back and label it. Weeks roll in to months and bibs your uncle, where on earth were they from?
Cheers, James.
Yeah, the nyloc nuts are interesting. The bolts holding the tub, sides etc are smaller.
I think they are too heavy for body panels, Zeaphod. Cheers, though.
Cheers, Auldgreen90 I'll check that out. It may lead to something. It is turning in to a forensic search
Definitely 10mm diameter, not sure if the thread is M10 thread though. I've replaced all of the pedal bolts and have the old ones accounted for.
With there being six of them this seems like the best option. I think I'll try one in the bush to see if it's too short, James.
This is the best picture I have of them at the time. I'm not sure they are all there
Thanks to everyone for putting so much thought in to this. I really appreciate it and didn't expect it to grow in to such a hunt.

Ha ha, cheers TorsionBhudda
I think JM is probably right, though as JM says they are about 5mm too short for the spec. They may have been replacements though if the bush had been changed before I bought the Landy. It's a bit of a mystery, cos I'm not convinced I kept the six together going by my pictures. There's brand new ones on there now, look identical but a bit longer.

The plot thickens chaps, but don't do your heads in over it.
I started putting the new exhaust on tonight, but was a stud missing from the manifold flange. Got a box of old scrap bits in a box under the wood shed, so started looking through there for the stud. Found the stud
But also found the old trailing arm bushes.
The picture is a bit fuzzy, but the old nuts and bolts are all there.
Time will tell me where those other six nuts and bolts came from, I'm sure.
