I have been working the on the Cruiser and decided I needed to order some new nuts and bolts. I am working on the list I found on Mud and I have an excel sheet I am working on comparing different prices for different online and local hardware stores. I decided I really would like a working list of bolt sizes to make life a little easier, especially since I will be working on several of my other cruisers.
I haven't been on CCOT since Nov. or so and noticed they added this:
Bolt Kits
What I would like to do is create a list of sizes for things, kind of set it up like the CCOT with pictures, and include the sizes for the different parts (and of course make it availible to everybody to use !) I would put all the sizes and quanity in excel, then add pictures to help.
So I am going slowly collect, measure and size the bolts as I work on my crusier. Is there something out there like this? Maybe if I searched from Toyota parts? If it is, I still want to do an excel sheet and a word document with pictures.
Here is a start, from what I have searched on MUD
1. **I think Mark from Marksoffroad.com posted this**
M6x1.0 grill bolts
M6x1.0 apron bolts
M6x1.0 rear door hinge bolts
M6x1.0 hardtop bolts
M8x1.25 windshield hinge
M8x1.25 running board bolts
M8x1.25 fender brace bolts
M8x1.25 front door hinge bolts.

6mmx1.0x15 or 20 Exterior of windshield (The ones that clamp the front lip of the hardtop to the windshield frame)
Most of the M10s are also 1.25 (exception is the water pump, which is M10x1.0)
The below list was found here:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common sizes:
M6x1.00 in 16 - Suggest buy 50
M6x1.00 in 20 - Suggest buy 50
M6x1.00 in 25mm - Suggest buy 50
M8 x 1.25 in 16 - Suggest buy 50
M8 x 1.25 in 20 - Suggest buy 80
M8 x 1.25 in 25 - Suggest buy 150
M8 x 1.25 in 30 - Suggest buy 50
M8 x 1.25 in 35 - Suggest buy 150
Flat washers in M6 - Suggest buy 150 plus 30% split washers
Flat washers in M8 - Suggest buy 250 plus 30% split washers
Flat washers in M10 - Suggest buy 100 plus 30% split washers
Flat fender washers in M8 (OD about 30mm) - Suggest buy 100
Nuts for M6x1.00 - Suggest buy 50
Nuts for M8x1.25 - Suggest buy 150
Nuts for M10x1.25 - Suggest buy 150
This list is by no means an exact count but similar quantities got me
through my rebuild without too much left over. It should give you a good
selection and it shouldn't run out in the middle of the job. Get a bunch
of old jars, mark them and store the bolts, nuts and washers in them.
Saves a lot on swear words when you have to pick out from a heap of
bolts, nuts and washers.
