Dress Up Bolts

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

the outside taper.. the normal ones get bigger going down... and the inverted ones are like they have been... well.. inverted the taper starts off bigger and then tapers inwards.. say for recessing into a hole or something similar

ahhh thanks for that Craig

turns out they were 12G cup washers, with 6mmx1mm allen key tapered bolts - stainless

i got 50 of each for $28

i have a feeling the ones in the original post were alloy and annodised plus more angled sides than what i got, i'll get some pics later as i just finished changing them over.

Is urs the unique autosports airbox?

yeah it is

[Craved]

anyone want to suggest a colour for me to coat those washers in ?

or should i leave them brushed stainless?

[PM-R33]

I've been thinking about getting one of those UAS airboxes, just not sure how well it will fit with my custom pipework, looks good though.

I've been 'detailing' my engine bay bit by bit over the last 7-8yrs, and if you want to pay a few extra dollars to use coloured anodised countersunk style washers, then the best option for ordering them in bulk quanities is to contact your local go-kart retailers.

Anodised washers are commonplace on most go-karts. They usually have red, blue, silver, gold and a few other colours in stock at most go-kart stores. A little bit of research and you can usually find the supplier to the go-kart store.

They aren't cheap though, expect to pay a lot to get enough to do a whole car... like I have

You should be able make out the red anodised washers and stainless fasteners I've used throughout my R33 - I've used them on almost every area of the engine bay, bonnet, boot, exterior... sideskirts etc.

im in the process of detailing my engine bay. now i want to get the cup washers and hex bolts to suit...

just wondering if this is all i need to tell the guys at the bolt shop.. "12G cup washers, with 6mmx1mm allen key tapered bolts - stainless"

are these the size bolts for the quater panels, and the other bolts on the radiator support? are they all one size?

thanks
