I could of sworn I saw a thread with someone posting which donor hardware is used on the kit. I have some but it's in some bad shape and I'm missing others and figure I would just order new or replace with similar sized not from subi. Any one?

Not sure what you are looking for... did you buy a kit? Do you have a manual? The website is pretty clear on what you need. If you need something in particular the forum van be a great place to either find the part or a source for a part

I think he's referring to the nuts and bolts used from the donor, in the manual it just says "use OEM hardware" in many places. Maybe this will be useful:

I soaked most of my subaru fasteners in evaporust and they turned out pretty good.

if it's in bad shape just get new, it will take you less time then cleaning up your old stuff.

I used all new hardware from Ace/Boltbarn/Subaru, maybe $200 in bolts? it would cost less now because FFR includes more hardware with the kit now.

The only hardware I reused was my rear knuckle long bolts which were in good shape.


I have a lot left over, so if you are interested let me know what bolts you need and maybe I can set you up a package.

Evaporust is great, i have used it for the last 10 years restoring and building cars. It truly work well, 24 hours, they are like new.

Yes I'm just looking for hardware i.e. Stock nuts and bolts. I currently have a bucket of rusty random bolts and honestly not sure what goes where and still would need to clean them.

Front strut bolts and nuts, rear strut bolts and nuts, rear knuckle bolts, including that long cross bolt for starters. Rear lateral link bolts and nuts with cams. That's as far as I am right now.
