Nut and Bolt supply for 911 garage

[Chris Lovell]

During some modest cat/muffler work, I made yet another trip to Home Depot seeking specific fasteners. I then discovered the Bolt-Depot store is just down the road. So, I am interested in making a single trip to Bolt-Depot for stocking the basic, and not so basic, fastening hardware needed for my 911(s). The following are the fasteners I needed for the cat bypass project. I am hopeful other Pelicans can add to this list until I have something reasonably comprehensive for my trip to the nut/bolt store.

(10) 8mm x 40mm (or 5/16 x 1.5") bolts/nuts - Exhaust system connecting bolts
(10+) 6mm x 15mm bolts/nuts - engine tin, catalyst heat shield

Thanks,
CL

Apparently, I didn't do my homework (again!).

Pelican sells a fastener warehouse PEL-WUR1964150112 for $100. It includes:
Bolts - Size/Quantity: 6 x 25mm/25, 6.3 x 25mm/25, 8 x 25mm/15, 10 x 40mm/5, 1/4 x 7/8"/25, 5/16 x 1"/20, 3/8 x 1"/10, 6mm/25, 6.3mm/25, 8mm/25, 10mm/10, 1/4"/25, 5/16"/25 and 3/8"/10.

I suppose that is the answer to my question.

Thanks...that's good to know, actually.

You do know, I assume, that size and thread are only two of the three most important criteria to determine the proper fastener? Grade (strength, broadly speaking) is the third.

[Chris Lovell]

For sure Stephan.
I was hoping someone might have a cheat sheet with size, thread, and grades. I'm sure Wayne's a good array of fasteners but I am always needing 10+ of one size or another. Therefore the interest in building my own supply.

McMaster-Carr has just about every imaginable hardware bits and pieces that you can think of, and priced decently too. http://www.mcmaster.com/

Scott,
The cat requires only 9 bolts but I added 1 add'l as spare.
