ARP Bolts 1/2-13 Stainless Steel 12pt Nut Kit - Polished Finish, Sold Individually
$4.45

If you're diving into some serious projects or just need a reliable nut for your Jeep, the 401-8302 ARP 1/2-13 SS 12pt Nut is worth checking out. This isn't just any nut; it's crafted from polished stainless steel, which means it’s built to last and resist rust, even when you're out there tackling tough terrains.

Now, let's talk size. It’s got a thread size of 1/2-13, and if you’re wondering about the wrench diameter, you’ll need a 9/16 inch wrench to get a solid grip on it. The 12-point design makes it super easy to work with, allowing for better torque and less chance of slipping when you’re tightening things down. It’s a little detail that makes a big difference when you’re in a tight spot.

One thing to note is that this nut doesn’t come with a nylon insert or self-locking feature, so if you’re looking for something that locks in place, you might want to consider that. But if you’re just looking for a straightforward, reliable nut that gets the job done, this one fits the bill perfectly.

Just a heads up, it’s sold individually, so if you need a few, make sure to grab what you need. Overall, this nut is a solid choice for anyone who appreciates quality and durability in their hardware. You’ll appreciate the craftsmanship the moment you put it to use.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
