Silly Question Arp Bolts

[Andy F 0]

Hi people

 

Have just got my new Rods, pistons and ARP bolts.

 

Only thing is the ARP bolts dont come with nuts?? I take it this right?

 

If so shall i just purchase nuts from peugeot or are there better ones to use.

 

Thanks

Andy

Blimey, I'm 99% sure mine did...

 

Were your bolts loose or in the original packaging?

in original pack it got bolts, washers and moly lube but doesnt seem to be any nuts

Hmmm well, I'm fairly sure when I rebuilt my mi16 they were all in the same pack, but I'll be honest I'm not 100%. I'm not saying 8v kits are the same as 16v kits, of course, but I would have thought (in my completely unprofessional opinion!) that the nuts and bolts would in some way be matched and so provided together? But hey; what do I know.... maybe ring the shop you bought them from and ask? Or ring somewhere like Arrow/DES/QEP/Longman/AB Motorsport and ask....

Does the pack look like this?

Those look pretty much how I remember mine coming, yep. Nuts look the same, too.

erm its no time to admit how dim ive been.

 

I compared the new bolts with the old ones thinking there not the same.

 

Then actually studied the new rods i had in detail and as there steel rods one half of the rod is threaded, therefore not needing nuts hence them being different to normal MI16 ARP bolts.

 

thinking before i speak come to mind

 

thanks for everyones help anyway though
