Best product?

You will never get a consensus of opinion on questions such as what is best .....?

If there is not enough paste just give us a shout.


Nakatanenga have been supplying these kits for years and the kits runs into thousands. If you look at other kits available in the UK, none of them supply any paste and none of them are as comprehensive as the Nakatanenga kits.

How long should one allow to complete the whole job?

very simple job....however I did it in stages as I worked on each portion of the vehicle over a few months. Rear crossmember about 20 mins(while trying to fix my rear step), bonnet hinges about 20mins ( while installing a noise killer panel), front grill about 20 mins ( while installing an XS grill)etc......

I would say about 3 hours with the doors and rear door/spare tire carrier accounting for 2 hours of that due to removal of panels.
Not difficult, just be methodical and work your way around.
cheers

If you're going to be playing about with stainless steel fixings on a Landy generally (seems to be something most of us get addicted to), then as others have said, I'd invest in some Tef Gel. Like some other brands that are available, it addresses the issues around galling, seizing and galvanic corrosion in one hit Thumbs Up

Although not necessarily related to this OP, but mindful of the aforementioned addiction, do keep an eye on the tensile strength of any 'critical' or 'structural' fixings you are intending to replace with stainless steel. It's not a problem as there are many, many stainless steel grades available, but do keep an eye on things.

I've had stainless steel products from Brendan before and the paste (and advice) was plentiful Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

As Screbble says there are many grades of stainless steel fittings around

However the most common grade available is A2 which is resistant to corossion, heads of bolts stamped A2

A4 grade is more corrosion resistant being a 'marine' grade of stainless and bolts are stamped A4 on its head.


Strength of mild steel bolts typically available are known as 8.8 which have a minimum yield of 640 MPa and minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa,

Typical stainless bolts are A2-70 have a minimum yield of 450 MPa and minimum tensile of 700 MPa

A4-80 have a minimum yield of 600 MPa and minimum tensile of 800 MPa
