Stainless steel engine bay

I have searched for a while now! Another member posted about how they had swapped bolts/screws in the engine bay for stainless steel versions. Does anyone know where I can find their post?!

if you go on my profile about page 17/18 ish look for replaced all bolts on the slam panel today some pictures there . use A4 bit better quality stainless wear ever I go I replace it with stainless steel wheel arches . rear tailgate. engine bay . most are 6mm /8 mm bolts and nuts . washers are the same 6/8 some 22mm some penny size. some are special machine bolts for the rear tailgate. replace the ones where the tailgate straps fit . spray around the area where the washer is going to be with some clear wax protector before doing up. i got mine from a firm called kays fasteners on eBay spot on firm and good service. i did have loads over from when I did a couple or 4 boat builds. must say looks so much better new vehicle purchase

From experience with swapping bolts to stainless make sure they are free from burrs and consider using lubricant during assembly as stainless bolts can be prone to galling (cold welding).

Be especially careful in aluminium parts too as a friend of mine found out after swapping the exhaust studs on his freshly rebuilt cylinder head for stainless steel and using stainless nuts instead of brass. The nuts seized and the studs welded themselves in the head just enough to tear all the softer aluminium threads out.

That said, done carefully they can really improve an engine bay and make future work much easier. 2006 L322 Vogue SE 4.2
