Anybody got a Stainless fixings list

Looking at some of the kits available they appear very expensive compared to going to a supplier and buying direct. I work very close to an excellent fixing supplier who sell this stuff for a fraction of the price. However I don’t want to have to take the landy apart to get sizes and lengths. I understand that some of the extra cost comes from somebody already having done this so don’t really want to get into that debate. They will all be fitted with anti galvanic paste so will also avoid that debate too.
My question is, does anybody have a list of sizes of fixings required for different areas of the vehicle (110 usw) eg doors, bonnet, lights, bumper etc so I can give them a picking list.

Interested in this one! I was interested in doing this until I saw the silly prices for the kits.

Which bolts kits were you looking at as I was only really looking at doing the door hinges. My bonnet is the hidden security hinge type. Are there any other important ones?

walk round the truck ......all the ones exposed to the elements need changing especially the ones attaching rear tub to chassis Just above chassis member as they appear to rust first and encourage the Ali to go as we'll.....make sure you use some anti galling compound like moly ceramic it's better than the the others as it does not set hard over time..........this statement may get a few comments as others have their favourite anti galling glupe.

^^No comment.

I use a different compound than you, but also non setting and completely metal neutral.

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Well, if you wanna go cheap, you always can use this popular paste here.

But if you want to do your truck some good, you use this non setting metals free Weicon paste. Don't think it is so expensive at all.

I love ceramic grease, certainly when non hardening. I use that for the hubs at each change between summer and winter wheels.
