All,

As we all are, I am a bit obsessed with these cars and see a few more of them on my horizon, I would like to purchase a set of fasteners for the future so I am not waiting on the more specialized vendors.

I found myself measuring a 6mmx1.0 - 12mm long bolt and thought - someone has a list - or the holy grail - some vendor has a button I can push to order all of the correct fasteners?

Any ideas or leads?

That seems like a daunting and really expensive task. These things came with good quality fasteners. I'd suggest that if you plan to rebuild/restore one in the future, just pull them all out, and drop them off at a plater. It'll cost you a hundred bucks give or take to do the entire car...

Already went that route - locally anodizing is pretty expensive - I have about 1/2 of them picked already on BelMetric - will continue depending on the outcome of this ask.

Thank you Detroit!

I’ve wired wheeled a lot of the fasteners and sent them out. Call PMB. Their rates are much better than your local guy (true 6?). Bel metric is fine for the normal stuff but at least a small percentage of the hardware is special to Porsche and the large nuts and bolts are expensive. I’ve done a couple parts in the past.

When you finished the car did it smell new?

Love the level of hardware attention - even the headlight mounting system!

Thank you,

VERY IMPRESSIVE

If you like data - and I love data - this is an amazing list


My Belmetric Order just got sweet - also I will contact PMB for the not generic stuff.

Hey Cary
The best way to clean up your engines appearance is to use only the original
hardware and finishes.
Porsche used certain suppliers who proudly marked their bolts with their company name or a letter identifier.
You'll find this is true of all of the 6mm tin and bolt fasteners on your engine.
The car is very original and undisturbed. Best plan is to keep it that way.
You don't want to hear this but degreasing, wire wheeling and plating the hardware
is an investment in the value of the car.
If you are short on standard hardware I probably have correct bolts.
Flat washers, wave washers ( by size) and split washers can be bought in bulk.

Good to know, the 6mm 1.0, x 12m hex bolts for the engine tin are in pretty bad shape - if they are marked as original - can you let me know how I would tell? I can send the hardware to PMB to be replated or may do it myself.........simple process.

I am de-greasing everything - check out the next set of pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I guess you could go through every page in the factory parts catalog. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Cary these are the two most commonly used fasteners on 916 6 / 911 tin
If you are short on them let me know.
The machine screw is KAMAX

I deal with a lot of metadata in my job, so I had a few tools that made it much quicker than you might guess. The hard part was figuring out the incomplete or erroneous details in the PET diagrams… and some mysteries I’ve only partially solved.
