Bolt sizes

[porschercr]

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm wanting to know bolt sizes of front and rear suspensions (A-arms) mostly.

Hopefully, converted to 1/24-1/25 scale. Working on a couple of Pro-Touring projects ('68 Dodge Charger R/T and '66 Mustang Fastback)

But, anything will help.

 

Thanks,

Trevor

I think most of the suspension bolts on those cars would be in the 3/8" to 1/2" inch range, in scale that would be about .015" to .020". Hex size for bolt heads or nuts would scale out to .023" to .026". If you're looking for real bolts I think sixe 0000 is the closest you'll find. If you're wanting only to simulate bolt heads and nuts, hex and round stock are available from Plastruct.  I think someone offers photoetched bolt heads, but can't recall who. HTH  JIM.

Thanks Jim.

Here is a link to a reference chart I did for hardware, tubing, braided line and A/N Fittings:

Scale Motorsport makes a photo-etched set of 1:24/1:20 Nuts, Bolts, Washers, and Fasteners.  The HiroBoy website has them for sale.

You may have better luck with the many nuts and bolt sets available for 1/35 scale armor. Aber and Plus Models make them in photo-etched brass. 

MENG makes several different sets on resin sheets, in some ways easier to use (and harder to lose) than photo-etched metal.  I've seen them for sale at several online hobby vendors.

Here's a review of the MENG nut and bolt sets from the armor site Missing-Lynx:

Thank you for the replies. 

Chris, sent you a P.M.

Mike, think I might go with the MENG items.
