hey guys, is there a list with all the different size bolts either body, engine interior, etc? I Know about the master bolt kits, but I see that Tractor Supply sells the bolts by weight; way more cheaper. I got 4 grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers for 0.92! at the hardware store, that would have been about 7 or 8 dollars. So If there was a list I can save a ton of money. Thanks guys

Get the factory assembly manual and cross-reference the part #'s of the nuts/bolts/etc in each drawing. Sometimes there is an adequate description of the fastener next to the part #. Sounds like a PITA but if you maybe concentrate on one area at a time it'll be more manageable.

Paragon Corvettes had a poster of their 1958 Corvette, "T-Rex", and the back side listed bolts, nuts, washers and other hardware they offer and the location used.... might try them

we have these kind of cheat sheets for m998's.
Also have a torque cheat sheet that covers every nut on the frame and chassis.
Easier than finding it in the book.
I could compile something like this easily, but I would intend on selling it...
That's not to crazy. We have them for the aircraft and a car compared to that is child's play...I do have the manual so Ill poke around and Ill check out AMK. I have one of their kits, but I know Im missing others. Thanks for the ideas guys. :thumbsup:
If you can find the part numbers for the fastener's in the AIM, I will look the sizes of them up for you.:thumbsup:

Be aware, bolt kits from vendors are pretty generic.
They cannot afford to have a specific, accurate bolt kit for each specific model and year of each car.
A kit may have all the bolts necessary to do a section of your car (front sheet metal for example) but the bolts may not be accurate reproductions for your specific car.
Be very careful of buying from a cheap source for bolts that are to be used for critical applications, like suspension parts, etc. Cheap bolts are often made in China and are not made to specifications required for a critical application.

I hear ya Verle. Theres a Government contractor, DCMA who investigates individuals who sell parts to the military. My buddy told me he was investigating a guy who was buying bulk hardware from home depot, re-packaging them and selling them to the military for various aircraft applications. The worst part, if they get caught, they just change the company name and continue selling these low quality parts.
Im pretty sure you those smaller aircraft use screws and bolts also. I know that the only faster we have that you can't get at a big box store are the "tri-wing" screws and button heads. Where you an Knuckle Dragger on those aircraft?That seems awfully odd to me. I have almost 30 years working on military aircraft. B52s A10s, F4s, F15s, and F16s. 98% of the fasteners we use aren't something you can buy at Home Depot. Maybe it's a tanker thing

I started in the EW career field, was an F-15 crew chief for a few years and the rest of my time is in F-15 Avionics.
Most stuff we deal with are not typical hex head type.
A lot are like this:
