   Get bolts, look 10x better IMO and go back on a lot better.

   Citroen do the stud and nut set for about £20 which is how I did it.

   If only there was a page that said what size everything was. Like a guide of sorts. If only we had a way to search for these "guides"...

    we sell high tensile stud and copper nut kits. these are much better than a standard stud/nut combination and wont seize, and far superior clamping force and yield strength to a bolt and wont tear the threads out the head either.

    No!
    
    Please use studs and nuts, not bolts. And if you insist on using bolts even though you shouldn't, then at least use bolts with the correct tensile strength.
