Anybody use larger stainless cladding bolts?

[psychonectar]

I was almost positive that I read a post on here in which somebody had a photo of some larger/stainless cladding bolts used on his VX. Anybody else use this style of bolts? Pics?

[tysamigo]

Yes, I have and LOVE THEM much better. I will post what I used once I get home and find the paperwork...

Thanks man, I'd love to hear more about these. Any pics of them on your VX?

My freaking new Tablet won't charge and I have 300 of the latest pics on there from my VX restoration!! And the battery is dead...

I will try to take a few new shots, but I've been documenting (with HUNDREDS of pics) the restoration of my VX (now going on 2 years in the garage). I'm almost done, just putting on special effects (ufo led lighting, fog machine, fire from exhaust, etc) which WILL BE DONE BEFORE MOAB... because Im definitely going this year.

I'll post ya a few pics over the weekend along with Fastenal's part number.

I like the spikes, but how would they fasten?

That was me. I used furniture inserts in the body in place of the plastic inserts, then I used toilet washers and license plate security bolts.

Boltin' 'em on isn't the problem, a rubber glove for grip and some blue locktite to secure 'em works fine as you don't crank 'em down that tight. The problem can be removal after several years worth of corrosion!

Those spikes would be an awesome Lil touch to the appearance. Did you use them on yours scott? If so, where can try be purchased man?

JUST MAKE SURE YOU ASK THEM FOR THE THICKER BOLTS . they send you half thin and half thick, but the thin ones look too small.

You rock! Thanks man!

I like how these turned out. The spikes look great, but I don't think they are stainless. Personally I prefer long lasting, trouble free and this is what I came up with... I do like the look of the spikes... if only they were stainless...
