I will be making some large purchases soon as far as nuts and bolts go for my land cruiser resto and have come across a good supplier that offers several materials of bolts. Each type will have its place, some stainless in non-load bearing exterior pieces, zinc plated in others...
Anyways, what I have for choices are these, and I was wondering if anyone has a machinists handbook or something to tell me the varying strengths of the materials these bolts are made from.
These are the choices I have to pick from. Keep in mind I am looking for the most rust resistant bolts possible for the exterior, and other types for the inside.
Alloy Steel (Class 10.9 Blue Coated Alloy Steel, Class 10.9 Black Oxide Finish Alloy Steel)
Carbon Steel ( Class 8.8 Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel,18-8 Stainless Steel, Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel, Class 8.8 Black-Oxide Finish Alloy Steel)
Stainless Steel (18-8 Stainless Steel, 316 Stainless Steel)
Also, does anyone know what type of bolts that Toyota commonly used? I know they are a good grade in their own right and resist rust fairly well.
