bolt sizes

[shift_rook]

Car - ae86

motor - 4age

use -holding stuff together

problem - don't have any

occurs/started when - i tried putting stuff together and realised it wouldn't hold together without bolts

personal situation - i need sizes for bellhousing bolts, exhaust bolts, gearbox stay bolts, engine mount bolts.

i realise no one really sells bolts, unless you want to sell some, then i'll buy em.

cheers fellas

there was a diagram floating about somewhere on the net of all the bits needed to bolt the T bell to a 4A. dont know where it is, but i can safely say, some are 14 heads and others 17 if that helps at all lol.

[shift_rook]

yeah i knew the bolt heads, cheers anyway boys, will hope the boys at cost less bolts can help me out

Toyota bolts are fine thread and use unusual head sizes, so they are hard if not impossible to find in normal bolt places. I think Champion do some stuff, you see them in Repco and those sorts of joints.

I reckon your best bet is to spend an afternoon at Pick a Part and get a bucketful of bolts from all sorts of Corollas or find someone about to get a car towed and strip it mercilessly. Then you'll hopefully have everything you'll ever need.

I am with Hen on this one, I mean sure the fine pitch bolts are easy enough to get in a high tensile but it's nice to have the integral washer style bolts instead. Self serve wrecker for the win

Toyota use the JIS (japanese industrial standards) which means that a M10 bolt has a 14mm head, and a m12 bolt has a 17mm head.

They are standard head sizes for JIS. in Australia and other parts of the world they use ISO standards, which state M10 bolts have a 16mm head, and m12 have an 18mm head. IMHO that makes our bolt head sizes the funny ones...

but i digress...

yeah so thats how it works, I wish the whole world would use the jap standard. But I have a few tottaly crazy ideas about threads, I think they should make a new metric standard: it would have jap sized heads but with a witworth profile thread form, best of both worlds.
