Afternoon all,

My name is Mac and I'm a boltaholic!

Many of you will know that I have been looking at bolts with a view to the possible supply of same.
Using my past experience and my findings during the resto. of my 300 I have looked first at bolts
which are 1. NLA from Volvo, 2. Suffer in service (corrosion/rounding off) and 3. Those that are
difficult and expensive to source in small quantities ie. Metric Fine/ Superfine. My efforts are
starting to bear fruit and I am now in a position to supply the following:-

Front wishbone inner bush bolt @ £0.60 each & nut £0.12 each. (2 of each needed per car)



Torque rod to wishbone /bottom ball joint bolt @ £0.20 each & nut @ £0.10 each (6 of each needed per car).



Brake disc to hub inhex cap screws - I have upgraded these to 12.9 @ £0.55 each (8 needed per car)



ARB front mounting bolts (supplied as inhex cap screws) @ £0.08 each (4 needed per car)



Rear engine mount bracket to axle bolts (supplied as inhex cap screws) @ £0.09 each (6 needed per car)



Driveshaft CV joint cap screws - I have upgraded these to 12.9 @ £0.40 each (24 needed per car). Since I have
brought these into stock I find Robbert Jan is also going to carry the equivalent (I will not tread on his toes so I
am unlikely to re-stock without his agreement).



Engine mount flange nuts - I will supply as serrated locking type @ £0.06 each (8 needed per car)



B14 exhaust manifold to downpipe studs @ £0.60 each & nuts (copper flashed self locking) @ £0.30 each (3 of each needed per car)



All the above prices are Exclusive of P&P.

Shortly I shall stock M12, M10, & M8 YZP Nylocks , flat washers, sump plug washers, and fuel filters.

Watch this space. Boltshop Rules.



Mac.

Yaaay, good job mac

In the near future could you start doing prop and torque tube clamp bolts?

Legendary

How much for a set for bothsides, of the lower arm inner bolts and the lower arm ball joint/compression rod bolts posted please Thomas....................

Great work, will be requiring anything relevant to my project, no hurry so will get a list together before the 2012 VOC BKV

A'ternoon all.

1. Speedy - No - Robbert Jan already supplies them @ 1 EUR each, and I won't tread on his toes.

I will order a batch from him and will supply at his price. (they are the same bolt by the way 3293921).

2. Attack - I will PM you.

3. Andy - just let me know what you need (I will have my "wares" at the BKV).

Mac.

Ah of course! Thanks for the info.

UPDATE

When supplying the torque rod/bottom ball joint bolts I will include 10mm flat washers
(x4 off) to be fitted as shown below.



I can now add to my stock:-

M12, M10, M8, YZP Nylocks (8. @ £0.12, £0.10, & £0.06
and M12,10,8 YZP flat washers @ £0.06, £0.04, & £0.02.



Sump plug washers for B14 & B172 @ £0.40



And "universal" (for carburettor cars) fuel filters @ £1.80



Mac.

UPDATE

Added to stock,

M10 x 1.25 (M fine) YZP 8.8 Nylocks (eg, torque reaction/tie rod nut)
@ £0.40 each + p&p. (sorry - M fine is a lot more expensive).

Still working on hub nuts and caliper carrier bolts - and if anybody can suggest anything
else I should try to stock please let me know.

Mac.

This sounds very good!!

Shame I've just renewed all the front suspension bolts or I'd have bourght them from you. Looks like I'll be taking the bottom balljoint bolts out and putting the washers on the right side lol.

Until we have a "list of suppliers" facility (Wiki perhaps) could a mod sticky this for me plse.

Mac.

UPDATE

I have revised the bolts for the wishbone/bottom balljoint - the factory supplied these as 3 (per side) M10 x 35
which leads due an untidy arrangement as ideally 3 differing lengths are needed. the pic illustrates this.

Original bolts,



In future I shall supply (as a single side kit) 1 M10x30, 1 M10x35, 1 m10x40, 3 nylocks and 4 washers,

Revised bolts,



Price increases slightly to £1.15 (from £1.06)

A clip that is always going missing is the e clip that retains the speedo drive into the n/s hub bearing cap.
£0.10 + P&P.



"Later" water pumps on B14s (83 on) always seem to cover their fixing bolts in in alloy corrosion products
this is a set of replacement bolts and washers.
£1.00 per set + P&P.




B14.4E gasket between the air cleaner and the carburettor - often replaced by home cut squashy rubber. now available
at £1.20 + P&P. Factory original for comparison.

A clip that is always going missing is the e clip that retains the speedo drive into the n/s hub bearing cap.

I had no idea they even existed

Need a Gearbox-diff Gasket

Can you supply them ?

Thanks

Hi Nate,
I have not yet considered that because:-
M47R to Diff gasket - still available from Volvo - pt.no.1340993 £5.90 + vat.

When it becomes NLA I will look seriously at including it.
