Nuts and bolts

[Cheeks]

Does anyone know where I could buy spare bolts for my TB? And for the thermo housing.

Car is 1.6 sport 8L 52 plate

TPS, main dealership, or try the Parts Request function at the top of the screen

Called up TPS and they have them ready for tomorrow!, unless @mjr901 is local to Newcastle and I can pick some up today?

Hello all,

I'm down in the Midlands so no good if you need them fast fast. Gimme a shout if you need anything in the future, always happy to help.

Cheers

Mike

Thanks again guys, always get the answers on here , and I'm looking for a new MAF and lambda sensor actually! Probably next month doing a few bits this month that's wiping me out!

Screwfix, b&q, halfords, I think they are m6 or m8 bolts, nothing special.

Agreed - Wouldn't bother blowing money on standard bolts from TPS where it can be avoided. Any hardware store should have a decent selection of bolts and certainly something suitable for TB

Hardware store stuff is generally crap... I'd go to a specialist fasteners place personally... thats where I get stainless cap bolts for mine..

Just be aware that not all bolts are equal and that certain bolts need to be of a specific hardness rating for the job... TB bolts are not hard but are also not expensive from a dealer either...

ASN Parts service generally includes postage so factor in fuel/parking/postage for getting bolts too vs a quote from Mike..

You don't need anything flash to hold a throttle body on, it has no shear force applied to it.
