I just did the engine and the engine bay. I love the fact I don't have
to go through sourcing and finding the correct nuts and bots. The
stainless steel looks great on my newly painted engine. I did have some
issues. I have a few wrong size bolts I need to swap out, and I did not
change the water pump housing and the engine mounts, because I wanted to
use the originals that I had shined up with an Eastwood tumbler. Overall
I liked them and I would do it again. It was pricy, but I liked the
convenience and look of the stainless.
I do have to now assemble the nuts and bolt's (all extras now). I'll put
them in sealed bags and either sell them or store them for someone who
needs them. I'll use the Bentley manual, and my memory to figure witch
ones go where.

Does anyone have firsthand experience with the Stainless fastener kit
offered
by RustFreeRoadsters? I thought I might invest in the engine kit rather
than
reassemble using existing hardware but don't know what type of premium
one
pays for the convenience of a complete kit vs. sourcing individual
bolts, nuts,
etc. Looks like a comprehensive solution from what their website
promotes and
I've seen a few auctions on eBay from time to time. I also seem to
remember a
few posts here about responsiveness.
Anyone use them?
