looking to spruce up my engine bay a little bit and found/made most of what im looking for but is having a hard time finding valve cover bolts and washers.. anyone have any ideas on where to look.
thanks

 

no idea, take pictures!

 

Use your original bolts and have them powdercoated or painted. Take your valve cover, smooth it out (sanding) prime it, and spray-then use a heat resistant clear. Something to think about, a few bucks and little bit of your time. Post up pics, so we can give you more ideas.

 

i know that.. but ive built s2000 before and have replaced valve cover bolts with something like

ok, my bad...I see what you mean now.

 

Sc400 or 300

 

Ebay would probably be the best place to find what you need.

 

Dressupbolts.com. they have what you need buddy.

 

Just go to ace and get metric stainless hex head boltw with stainless washers and have the valve covers powder coated.

 

ive got a sc400

 

Haha that was random? ^^^

 

Since I can follow along, I'll contribute....... Go to any hot rod website and you'll find every bolt you can find anodized many colors. They like to dress up the rods with colors these days.

 

on my supra i used SS allen with SS washers for everything including valve covers, spark plug covers, mounting sensors, etc. easily purchased at fastenal and usually in stock.

 

what do you got done so far on ur engine bay?

 

Well since you have a sc400 I can show you what I did...as soon as i find a pic. Might scrap it n go chrome though. But I had upper intake mani, valve covers and throttle body polished. Then I was going to buy chrome misc bolts. I am currently working on carbon fiber timing covers with a window. and a carbon vanity plate. I think i have some pics in my build thread. But Ill see if i can find some on my comp...
