I'm sure there all pretty much standard metric nuts and.bolts, no weird threads just different lengths and sizes as per normal. Get a selection box from any hardware store chap

ebays!
alot of the threads are metric fine threads making them a little harder to find.
also be aware of the ratings on the bolts, most cheap standard bolts are 8.8 where you really want 10.8 minimum.

good site for stainless stuff
There's a nut and bolt shop in the industrial estate 5 mins from my house. I go in with a list of bolts and 10 minutes later I walk out with a box of them all in stainless.
If your lucky there might be a fastenings shop near you? Failing that a hardware store as mentioned.
Don't use S/S on anything critical.
I've got some spare nuts and bolts if you can tell me the length, thread and size or possibly where it fits (most of them are in a big box).
You can have them for postage if I have them.

I've replaced anything that just holds an accessory etc on my car with stainless and it looks loads better, but things like suspension joints, structural brackets etc you need mild - stainless is too brittle. If you want suspension/chassis bits too look better, then get them replated
Also, for the bits you do replace, go A4, not A2. A2 'tarnishes' a lot more easily, whereas A4 stays brighter for longer.
Almost all of the small 10mm hex head bolts you find are M6 standard pitch (M6x1). The 12mm head ones are standard pitch M8 (M8x1.25).
Get a big box of M6x16s for a load of the bay brackets etc, some M8x20s, then a load of M6 and M8 washers. Also a big tub of M6 flange washers and some M8 flange ones as well. Should start you off pretty well
Thanks for all the info lads much help.
Just hit Nissan, they're not THAT expenive for individual items if you're not buying vast quantities.
Still dearer than "postage only"
Cheap bolts dont even have a rating, 8.8s are actually pretty good and will do you in most cases. 10.9s or even 12.9s will be needed for things like suspension bolts.
Exactly this, 8.8 bolts are more than adequate for 90%of jobs
