Hardware questions
Hello, building my first 911 engine, based on a 914/6 magnesium case. I have 2 questions regarding proper case hardware:
1. Can the Porsche acorn nuts for the thru bolts be replaced with ordinary acorn nuts, or do I need to pay $15 each for the factory nuts? Seems the same to me but I’m a novice. Belmetric has them for about a dollar
2. I plan to use nylock nuts for the case perimeter, is it ok to use stainless washers with those on the mag case? I’m not sure where to get the stronger aluminum washers I’ve seen recommended. ( or how to tell which are the strong ones)
Sorry for the dumb questions, thanks in advance for any help
