Strut Tower Nuts

[PM-R33]

I'm slowly replacing all my old factory bolts/nuts in the engine bay with stainless steel ones. Now im trying to find the 2 nuts with the inbuilt washer that go on the top of your suspension in stainless steel. Everywhere i've been doesn't even sell normal ones, let alone in stainless. I thought it would be a common item especially at a suspension place, but when i went to one they told me they can't get them. When we asked them "What do you do if you lose/break one and need to get your hands on one", they told us they go to a wrecker?? WTF!

Tried bolt masters, hardware stores, suspension places etc. Starting to run out of ideas. Maybe its just cause Townsville is so shit no one here sells them.

I know you can get them in stainless because i've seen them in engine bay pics, so does any one know where you can buy them from?

Thanks.

Dont know if there will be one in Townsville but sailing shops have a heap of stainless gear, maybe try one of them?

Good luck

Hmm thats actually not a bad idea, might try that. Thanks man.

Anyone else have any ideas? Surely some bolt/tool shop can order them in or something? Or if some one knows of a store down south ill order them if i have too.

yeah i normally go to the nut /bolt shop for those types of things. Got some for the strut towers of a Supra a few months ago, it was only $2.50 for 6. I think the company is called High Tensile bolts. Im sure you could find a similar business up there.

try Blackwoods or James Glenn.

The later will have them but i dont think they sell in small quantaties,could also try cedrays at silverwater if they are still there.

Do they HAVE to be the special nuts with the little crimp things on each side to stop it from vibrating lose or whatever it is for? Is that why they are difficult to find? Ill have another look around at some shops tomorrow arvo.

I'll find you those 4 nuts in sydney and post them up if you send all your old nuts and bolts in return
