That will depend on the grade of stainless you select. I suspect standard stainless fasteners will be 301 or 304 - neither of which are particularly high-tensile. ATB Mike -- Michael Hargreave Mawson

If you are worried about corrosion, just use the proper bolts with a good coating of anti-seize compound. The stuff really works! Several years ago I used some on my manifold studs, and when I need t

Messy you say? No matter how hard I try, I ALWAYS end up looking like the TIN man from the wrists down whenever I use it. And it doesn't like to just wash off.... But it does work well.... I use the

I am preparing to rebuild the front end of my car (within a month... see how long it takes me to do something, or save up for it). I have several questions to try and determine how much I need to rep

Patrick, the answer to your question is "I am preparing to rebuild the front end". We first have to make some assumptions. Has this front end been rebuilt before? My guess is no. When do you want to

Patrick, I can only speak for the poly bushings. Simply stated, go for them. I upgraded my 76 Spitfire with poly bushings all around and it made a world of difference. No more play in the steering, i

Be sure to check for play at the steering rack coupling. It can give a lot of play and can be just a loose bolt. The bolts may seem tight, but it the steering shaft moves without moving the rack, tig

Patrick (and all), The rubber bushings in the rack coupler itself tend to self distruct after..oh, twenty years of being baked in engine oil (what, oil leaks in a Spitfire! Oh no...) and that'll give

One thing to check is the universal joint in the steering shaft - I had a couple inches of free play that I thought was the rack, but it was just the rubber bushes in the joint were bad. I think they
