This list features the fasteners we ordered from Spaenaur.

Spaenaur sponsors us one completely free order of however number of fasteners we need.

This list was created by counting all the existing fasteners in the car assembly.

Quantities ordered were determined by the available packages Spaenaur has. We usually just round up.

Rules of thumb when we selected standard fastener sizes:

  • All Metric fasteners; No imperial fasteners

  • We also mostly use even-numbered fasteners, e.g. M4, M6, M8.

    • I think we absolutely hate M5’s because it is often mistaken for its imperial equivalent and then ruins the existing threads when they are jammed in assuming they were the correct ones.

  • Make sure fasteners in assemblies are appropriately chosen according to ASC regulations (10.4 Fasteners)

  • Know your material grades; do some quick research because the Spaenaur manual may not always use the same terminology or material grades as shown in ASC regulations
