Stainless Fastener Conversion - "Complete" list Request

Post by TheGingerBeardMan »

.
Hello. Now, I know that Lloydie HAS already posted up a list (of sorts) for the changing over of standard steel storm bolts, to nice shiny stainless fittings.

But....

I copied the first of Lloyds "list" I found, and sent it to Iain at BoltBase to place an order. THEN, I discovered that the list was wrong, and had been amended on another thread. In amongst that thread, I later spied another amendment and a few additions that there should be washers included in the order.

Then, I looked at the corrected post, and it STILL had M5 bolts in the listing, despite my understanding that there were NO M5s that needed ordered. I'm easily confused, but this tipped me to the point of curling up in a ball in the corner of the living room, and wanted to rock back and forth! :Wall:

I cancelled my initial order request from BoltBase, and Mr Sim (the owner) was superb about it. I said I would go on the forum to ask for a complete (uncluttered, no additional posts, fixed reply) list of all bolts required, with washers, and no size errors. I too provisionally ordered M5, instead of M6 before I read another post saying they were wrongly measured!

So, here is my request:

Owing to my serious confusion trying to read different posts (and try to collect all the info that's available to get the RIGHT order requirements), could someone please post below, a complete, correct and concise listing for a full stainless bolt swap over.

Replacement bolt size, thread length/pitch, head size, number required, washer required etc etc.

Once the full (and correct) list is made, then could someone post it in the Workshop knowledgebase and lock it to further posts? It'd be easier for "thick" folk like me to view what's needed on just a single post, without trawling through dozens of amendments in different sections!.

Muchos Gracias, thanks, cheers and ta heaps. :thumbup:
If it ain't broken...f*ck about with it until it is.
