A major home improvemnt hardware store locally is going out of business. What are the common bolt sizes nuts allen heads carriage ect that are used on the pantera so I can stock up for my gt5s project car? Thanks

I bought a lot of 6 and 12mm lately for the car but problem is metric sizes have like 3 different pitches on the threads 1.00, 1.25.and 1.5 maybe even more. I have been to the hardware store and specialized fastener shop two and sometimes three times a day so I can't even recall what the pitch was that I used on different bolts. If I wasn't so rushed before Vegas I should have wrote down the sizes and pitch for suspension & misc. other bolts.
If I were to do it again I would buy a metric thread chart/gage. Measure size and pitch needed and just order online from http://www.mcmaster.com
They have bolts at very attractive prices even compared to closing hardware stores.

1.25 thread pitch on most of the m8 bolts the m12 bolts it does not matter since you just needs the right pitch nuts. Which items are fastened with the m6 bolts? Wilkenson told me to get m8 in 90mm-120mm and the a arms were 100-110mm m12. I also got some m8's for the hood hinges.

Its all just a blur seems like I used some 6mm but it may have been 8mm. Hope the hood stays on.
All I really remember was giving the counter guy my bolt and nut screwed together for the A arms and telling him I wanted 20ea. I always buy extra, well I had to go back twice after that trip for the correct pitch nuts. Their fault and my time and gas! No I take that back I should of checked to make sure it was right, I know better.

I checked and bought washers too. The guy at the store said just buy the box and fill it to the top with all the loose ones in the drawer. i got washers too.
