nuts & bolts
Turbo Mini Forums

hi there peeps i've recently purchased a mini with a turbo engine in. on closer inspection the whole car has be loosely put together including the engine with half the bolts missing,im after a set of bolts for the engine do they do a whole set or would i have to purchase these seperatley, or the sizes of the engine bolts would be fine. any help gratefully apprciated.

try the moss website they do very good exploded diagrams of everything(with quantities) don't think they do a bolt kit but it will
be handy to check off what you need.

Have a search. There is a thread detailing most things

Look up Namrick Fasteners, buy yourself one of their mixed Unf bolt/washer/nut packs for about £18, this will cover probably 90% of what you will need and be very useful.

I bought a whole nut and bolt set off of ebay for something like £25

Unfortunatly I dont think he sells them anymore and some of them were wrong.

bear in mind that anything going into cast aluminium is UNC.

Once you know what you need, also try thesitebox.com.

may be of some help mate,
