hm, FAST intake bolts rusting?

The bolts on my FAST intake are rusting pretty bad. Not a huge thing but is anybody elses? I figured other people in the NE would be good to ask. Also does anybody know the size so I can get a set of stainless?

Mine ended up rusting pretty quick also. I purchased a stainless steel bolt kit from thunder racing for it. I think the kit cost me $36.00

I also bought stainless arp bolts. I went the extra step and get shorter bolts that hold the intake together and TB bolts in stainless. I figured around $3000 for intake and direct port nitrous stuff I mise well spend $20 more and make it look alittle better.

Talk to TTP.

I was there when they did the install for UltimateOrange's car and they looked into ordering stainless steel bolts that were an exact match. As far as I know they had intentions of stocking these.

Jim: Give me a PM I can give you the exact size of the bolt and a website to get the SS hardware from. WE are awaiting a stocking order from a distributor on these otherwise I would hook you up.
