All,
As we all are, I am a bit obsessed with these cars and see a few more of them on my horizon, I would like to purchase a set of fasteners for the future so I am not waiting on the more specialized vendors. I found myself measuring a 6mmx1.0 - 12mm long bolt and thought - someone has a list - or the holy grail - some vendor has a button I can push to order all of the correct fasteners? Any ideas or leads? CTC911CTC |

Hey Cary The best way to clean up your engines appearance is to use only the original hardware and finishes. Porsche used certain suppliers who proudly marked their bolts with their company name or a letter identifier. You'll find this is true of all of the 6mm tin and bolt fasteners on your engine. The car is very original and undisturbed. Best plan is to keep it that way. You don't want to hear this but degreasing, wire wheeling and plating the hardware is an investment in the value of the car. If you are short on standard hardware I probably have correct bolts. Flat washers, wave washers ( by size) and split washers can be bought in bulk. Rory |

Good to know, the 6mm 1.0, x 12m hex bolts for the engine tin are in pretty bad shape - if they are marked as original - can you let me know how I would tell? I can send the hardware to PMB to be replated or may do it myself.........simple process.
I am de-greasing everything - check out the next set of pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Mar 10 2025, 06:37 PM)  Hey Cary The best way to clean up your engines appearance is to use only the original hardware and finishes.
