    Default Nova hatch bolts

    Hi,
    Does anyone know where I can find or have a bolt spec guide for the entire car such as bolt length, type, thread pitch etc, I have a lot of bolts for various parts but also missing some and want to replace everything with stainless, any info would be great.
    Thanks
    Phil

    Stainless have different tensile strength rates over normal bolts. So I wouldn't use stainless for suspension, calipers and anything under proper strain (basically anything 10.9 stamped)
    Think I started making a list of Nova bolt specs, might have lost it though...

    As above . Use zinc coated 10.9 were you need to on running gear . And when using stainless make sure you use lock nuts or loc tight trust me they will rattle loose . My whole drag car is built with stainless cap heads apart from the running gear . Even after the dyno alot of them had come loose i have had to go round every bolt and loc tight them or fit nylocks

    thanks for letting me know that, would have been annoyed half way through and finding out, if you could find it that would be awesome.
