Bolts, Nails & Nuts

Choose the right size and thread

Bolts and nuts come in metric and inch sizes. European cars use metric thread. American models often work with inch. Always check the diameter and thread pitch. A wrong pitch damages the thread. If in doubt, measure the thread with a thread gauge.

Where ordering goes wrong

Many mechanics order by eye and get the wrong length or thread type. Look at the marking on the bolt head. Metric often has a marking like 8.8. Inch sizes have a different marking. Use a caliper for the diameter and a thread gauge for the pitch. This prevents returns and downtime.

Material choice for internal and external use

Galvanised steel is suitable for internal use and dry environments. For external use and the engine bay, choose stainless steel. This prevents corrosion and seized connections. For body panels, use special bolts with a flat underside. A set with common sizes saves time. You always have the right bolt or nut within reach.

Bolts and nuts sets

In the bolts & nuts category you will find complete sets. Choose a set with nuts in metric or inch sizes. Pay attention to the finish: galvanised for internal, stainless for external. This way you always have the right combination for repair and maintenance.

Nails for workshop and job

For wood connections and fixing to walls, use nails. Short nails for light shelves, long and thicker ones for heavy-duty jobs. Choose the right length and diameter for the surface. A set of wire nails covers most jobs.
