nuts n bolts

[craigus1977]

Has anyone come across a company that supplies a full set of nuts and bolts for, lets say a r19 16v? Reason I ask is that I wanna replace every nut and bolt on the car, but I don't fancy going through the dialogies listing the part numbers of every bolt then going to renault. Call me lazy, but this would take hours!
If not it's gonna have to be done! Cheers guys

No chance.

Also, if you replace every nut and bolt from the dealer, it will cost you as much as a new car.

I thought it might! Thing is, I've started stripping the car down and I'm shearing bolts left, right and centre. I could use allen key bolts as we got shit loads of these at work and it's not gonna cost anything. Not sure if its gonna look right though?

Just use whatever fits. I'm all for originality, but there's a limit.

I used copper grease on everything when I put mine back together.

I hate Allen keys with a passion, they're just asking to be rounded off!

Replace like with like but remember the important bolts are all custom e.g. ball joint bolts so don't mess!

I hate em too! Their a pain in the arse. Maybe just replace the busted ones and replate the half decent ones

Not a big deal in itself but it probably indicates they are a different material!
