Hi Don, apologies for this rather simple question but could you point me in the right direction regarding parts numbers for the rusty bolts on my bonnet lock and the headlight bolts aswell as 1 of them is looking rusty so I will replace them all, also the clip for the top radiator hose...much appreciated as usual don👍 I will buy radiator brackets from scoobyworld.

You could hydro dip brackets, approx 35 quid ,think worth to buy stainless bolts to replace rusty ones

That sounds a better option. Who does that?

Another option is remove the rust with the Deox stuff then I think @hedgecutter uses zinc primer once rust is removed.

Citric acid is much cheaper than Deox C and does just as good a job. I bought Deox originally but when that was used up I bought some citric acid and I can’t tell a difference.

Are we talking about the food stuff (crystals in a packet). If so whats the ratio you used.

NOSSY_89

price difference is massive

used him year ago, terrible service due to covid etc ,checked i paid 40 for 2 brackets, for stainless bolts i went with rallytech kit

hi, if you're just buying off the shelf stainless bolts, then ensure you buy flanged ones, also Kay's Fasteners on ebay are very reasonable.

RockyRoad

Yes although don’t buy little packets of the stuff. I use about 1 kg per 15-20 litres of water same as the Deox. There are theories going about that Deox C is just citric acid maybe with a couple of other additives to slightly improve its performance but like I said I haven’t noticed a difference between the two.

Found 1kg under £5+postage. thanks for pointing out this stuff.

RockyRoad

It should be even cheaper than that. I got 10 kg for just over £20.

ive bought some already, they are flanged so if they fit ok I will upload a link for anyone else interested, thank you mate 👍

Nice alternator cover 👍and rad brackets.

Are you expecting your gas struts to fail? As you still have your bonnet stay in place or is it just belt and braces.?

JdmSti2006

👍
did not think about bonnet stay, i will swap gas struts and other parts to next sti
took me 2years to realise i have scoop undertray fitted which i do not need to-sold it
my way of thinking is more about what parts i need for it , it needs a lot btw😉
