ARP Bolts 1/2-13in x 2.000in 12pt Black Oxide 8740 Chromoly (5/pkg)
$21.45

If you're looking for some seriously tough bolts, you’ve stumbled upon the right ones. These ARP 1/2-13in x 2.000in 12pt Black Oxide Bolts are built to handle the kind of stress that would make lesser fasteners crumble. Seriously, these babies are made from 8740 chromoly, which is just a fancy way of saying they’re super strong and durable. With a yield strength of 180,000 psi, you can bet they’ll hold up under pressure, whether you're working on a high-performance build or just need reliable hardware for your daily driver.

Each bolt measures 2 inches in underhead length, which gives you plenty of grip for whatever you're fastening down. The 12-point head style is a game changer, too. It allows for a better fit with your wrench, reducing the chance of stripping the head when you’re cranking things down. Speaking of which, you’ll need a 9/16 inch wrench to get these tightened up just right.

And don’t worry about the little details; these come with washers included, so you’re set for installation right out of the box. The black oxide finish not only looks sharp but also adds a layer of protection against rust and corrosion. Trust me, you don't want to be replacing your hardware because of some surface rust when you could be out enjoying your ride.

Whether you're upgrading your suspension, securing your axles, or just need some solid fasteners for a project, these ARP bolts are a solid choice. Grab a pack of five, and you’ll be ready to tackle whatever you throw at them. Just remember, they’re built for performance, so treat them right!

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.
