Don't think stainless bolts alone will rid you of this issue - spotted at Spring Adventure yesterday: [URL=]  Click image to enlarge[/URL] Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

A couple of points to bear in mind.
1). Those bolts shown on Supacat photos are not Nakatanenga bolts which we sell! 2) Not all grades of stainless are rust resistant in all conditions. 3) The rust stains may well have migrated from other parts. 4) The Nakatanenga kits comes with anti seize/corrosion paste in the kit. Brendan |

Brendan - the rust showing was almost certainly from the hinge and surrounding body areas. It looked like this on all the hinges not just the one I photographed.
The reason I posted this was to indicate that stainless bolts, irrespective of head type or source are not necessarily going to solve the issue mentioned as it's not just the bolts that are the cause of the rust. The bolts were A2 stainless - what grade are the Nak ones? |

The Nakatanenga bolts are V2A.
The door bolts are the correct Land Rover head which is the only ones available in stainless. The kits are the most comprehensive ones available and are probably the best value for money kits on the market! Edited to add that looking again at that photo it looks like there are some serious issues with rust and that door! Brendan |

They look to be the britpart kits, and if you take a magnet to one of them stainless bolts it sticks like

so whats the difference between an A2 bolt and a V2a one? assume its some kind of german standard, but are they the same?
id assumed that any stainless steel bolt you find would have to be A2 at least in order to be classed as stainless in the first place! |

The supplied paste is aluminium based and prevents seizing and corrosion.
It is neccessary to clean rusty hinges before fitting the kit! Otherway the rust from the hinge will move to the bolts! The special bolts are stated as V2A but are better in real life. They are not A4A but something inbetween. They ere exclusively made for us by a large bolt manufacturer as i was unable to source them anywhere else. V2A is A2 V4A is A4 etc Our hinge bolts are: 1.4310 (X10CrNi18-8, or X12 CrNi17 7) WANTED: SII or SIII in max 1.5k |

just little thoughts from me - I do agree with Nakatanenga here. We cannot expect s/s bolts or parts to withstand whatever we do with them. Iīve been told not to use grinding/cutting discs that were used on common steel parts with s/s later. Small particles of the mild steel will spoil the s/s and lead to corrosion, kind of an infection. Itīs said that one should even store s/s away from mild-steel. So putting s/s bolts into a mild-steel environment aka door hinge doesnīt mean the s/s bolt couldnīt be spoiled. Even though the picture above looks to me like only rust was washed away by water and ran over the bolts without causing themselves to severly rust yet.
OTOH I donīt think the reverse conclusion would necessarily bring me further really - i.e. to keep the standard bolts. A real argument against s/s is that they have lesser mechanical qualities compared to an 8.8 grade bolt, they are worse in sheer strength. But that probably doesnīt count here. |

A2 grade stainless steel bolts will still corrode the best grade is A4 that's what is use in the marine industry.
