I would like to know were can I find what bolts are used were. I work at a Fastener company and will be changing all the bolt to button sockets, A4 stainless hex bolts, titamiun, Aluminum. I would like to know if anyone has a list(brake down) to make my life a bit easier

Thank you.

What bolts are you referring to? I used a set from Frank at Prodigy customs, Worked nicely, the only thing I would recommend doing different is to use regular hex head bolts on the door hinge bolts b/c you need them to be very tight and you risk stripping the allen head but everything else in the kit worked great. They are a sponsor here under the GP superstore.

I think that given that he works at a fastener company, he's more looking for a list of bolts than recommendations for Frank's kit. I don't have a list, but I am curious as to what the list contains.

I think your best bet will be to replace the bolts as you find them. The bolts you take off will have the markings you need to ascertain the proper grade, and then a little measuring will give you the size, thread, and length.

I second the importance of using a hex or 12pt for the door hinges, but you should be able to find these without too much difficulty.

I have alot of bolt missing from the front of the car. That is why I wanted to get a list, and just get them from work as I will be going with diffrent plattings and material. We stock and supply a lot of the OEM's

Well you could try asking Frank but then again I know he took a long time to come up with all the info etc hisself so not sure he will just spill the beans.

If you had an FAM, it wouldn't be too hard to look them all up. ;)

Factory Assembly Manual.

Good idea, the Assembly Manual should have all the info needed. Not to mention that they are just damned handy to have when you're building a car.
