Bolts etc...

I clean all my bolts with a wire wheel. Then I used Eastwoods blacking kit, most came out great. The bad ones I through away. Since I have parted several stangs, I have plenty to make up for those I throw away. I also have bought some from AMK.

About how many bolts will the blackening kit be good for? I'm curious since it's $40. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

I have donesdevral hundred and it still is good.

I bought an engine bolt kit off the forbidden auction site, then bought extra stainless steel bolts at my local hardware store. I love the look of the stainless steel bolts, but, they are kind of pricey....

i would advise buying a complete hdwr kit - probaably from Mustang vendor or AMK if they seellwhole kit. i sand blasted mine and clearcoat most of them - just finished 2 hrs of doing fender hdwr and differential bolts. if i do not like looks of them after i can always swap out ones that can be seen. all strength dependent bolts are new such as my total suspensin, handlling, and steering kit from Can. Mustang. lot a work cleaning and painting indivdual nuts and bolts. did not try Eastwoods tratment.
