It's all too common for an A/C compressor or smog pump to be removed, and the hardware to be lost. This kit replaces the missing hardware and ensures all engine accessories are secured to the engine! This 21-piece kit is made exclusively for Late Model Restoration to restore your engine. The studs, bolts, and nuts are made of ARP 8740 chrome-moly steel. This hardware is nominally rated at a 180,000psi tensile strength, which is a fair margin stronger than standard Grade 8 hardware and significantly stronger than the factory pieces. Each piece is black oxide-coated for corrosion resistance and long life.
