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.....

Where you getting them from.?!
Bolt shop.... (no sarcasm....honest)
Brandon bolt company, going there tomorrow. Unless they are expensive then I will be buying from screwfix at 6 quid for 100 m8 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.
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:
