Doing a rebuild is expensive enough (the recent thread on tr4$ is pretty
evident) and in doing my tr4a I'm trying to be prudent where ever possible
reusing the original fasteners, if it's safe. But there's a lot of times that
I've found myself looking into my bolt box and not finding the right size. I'd
like to stock up and get some new fasteners, but need your help.
Does anyone have a list of the most commonly used fasteners on a tr4 or 4a?
Going through the Moss or VB catalog, and trying to find the right bolt is
painful, and expensive. And the crafty people at Moss or VB don't give the
generic description, only their part number.
If I had a standard listing, McMaster-Carr has just about every conceivable
grade 8 nut,bolt and screw you can think of, and they're half the price of
Moss. I don't want to just order a bunch of 3&1/2"x3/8 shoulder bolts if I
really will need 3&3/4"x3/8.
Or, does anyone have a conversion chart from Moss or VB numbers to a generic
description?
Thanks!
