I lot of my bolts on the Trunk are original and are starting to round off when I try to remove them, so plan to replace with stainless steel A2 bolts.

The question is, what are the most used sizes on it? The amount of screwing that goes on around here I'm sure someone has got a list! :clap

I can tell you that pretty much most threads are a stupid fine pitch metric, thanks Nissan:nenau

They are all fine pitch thread but can easily be bought from most fastener suppliers or good old eBay.

I worked for a company that used this company, always had good service and very approachable for information. Not sure how the prices compare to else where though.

The company is called The Stainless Steel Centre.

Quick note, A2 or A4 Stainless Steel bolts will not take the torque of steel grade 8.8 bolts, and certainly not 13.9 so only use them in the correct application.

Good point rustic, so only use on applications when torque measurement isn't required. Really just thinking of those ones that you tend to need to remove like battery retainer... or just to brightin up trim fittings...

I replaced the under engine cover fixings with stainless M6 hex headed bolts with stainless penny washers. Standard M6

From screwfix.
