Nuts & Bolts

One of the issues about buying a car in pieces is that you inherit a big selection of old nuts, bolts and washers, usually well mixed together and no knowledge where they go, or even if they belong to your car.

I had done some initial sorting quite a while ago when I ran them through a vibrator to remove a lot of the rust. You can see the before and after pictures.

After needing to find the missing pieces to my stalk switches, I decided that I had better go through, sort and categorize all of loose parts, including the nuts and bolts. This isn't a fast task since Ferrari used several thread pitches on some of the bolt sizes. In addition, there were several US sized items included too. I don't know if they just got mixed in, or came off the car after some mechanic used whatever was available for a repair. Here you can see my sorting table.

I set aside all of the mystery parts for further investigation. I've numbered them so if anybody knows what they go to, please let me know.
