Does anyone know where I can get replacement bolts for the engine bay of my Lexus is 200 Sport [2004]

Mine are corroded and I need to replace them?

I am trying to avoid, removing them individually, and cleaning them...

Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Heres a pic of my bay, had the same problem with rusty boltheads so i started to replace them with s/steel allen key domed heads and washers.

Since this photo was taken i'v replaced almost all the bolts this way, plus painted the rad brackets and moved the horns to below the grill.

Nice clean engine bay! I also replaced many of the 10mm head bolts in the engine bay with s/steel ones - a great improvement. Managed to find s/s bolts on Ebay very similar to the originals. Also cleaned and re-painted the rad brackets but I see they are starting to rust again.

Thanks Guys...

If only mine looked as clean... :sad:

What size bolts should I get?? is there a particular size/length that will fit all those I replace, or is there hundreds of different sizes?

[font="Arial"][/font]Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the responses so far..

I emailed Titan Bolts as they do Engine Bay Dress up kits for a variety of vehicles to see if they would do one for an IS 200.

Their reply is as follows:

Thanks for your enquiry sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately we do not yet do a Lexus 200 dress up kit. We are relient on friendly owners to gain access to the cars inorder to measure them up. If you live near Wiltshire and were willing, we are always interested in expanding our range in return for a free kit.

So if you live in Wiltshire this could be the ideal opportunity to get all the old rusty bolts out of your engine bay [for free] and help other IS 200 drivers..

Please feel free to contact them directly.....

Regrettably I live too far away.:(
