Places to get bolts made?
 
The bolt for my A/C tensioner pulley bracket snapped off and now I need to get a replacement. Where are some places to get a bolt made around the lower mainland? Also if by any chance you have a bolt (the car is a '98 GS-R) PM me :D

Thanks

If it's an OEM bolt probably a lot easier and cheaper to get it through the dealership. You're going to have to pay a lot for tooling, MOQ, etc just to get one bolt made. Try Pacific Fasteners if it's not an OEM bolt.

It's most likely an OEM bolt so I'll try a dealership. Thanks though!

Can someone tell me if all B-series A/C units are the same?

The bolt snapped off... did you get the rest of the bolt out? You should just be able to get a replacement bolt from the dealership or online.

If you've stripped the thread that the bolt screws into, you'll need to re-tap(re-thread it) on size up, and put a bigger bolt. That will be a bit more challenging.

Actually the bolt broke just before the head. I'm almost certain the bolt was cross threaded or over torqued because after I drove around for a bit after pulling out the pulley and mounting bracket I noticed that the broken bolt was gone. :mad:
