ARP Bolts 1/2-20 12PT Nut Kit 8740 Chrome Moly Black Oxide - 10 Pack, Steel Nuts
$29.45

So, you’re looking to beef up your ride? Let’s talk about the ARP 1/2-20 12PT Nut Kit. This isn’t just any nut kit; it’s made from 8740 chrome moly steel, which means it’s tough enough to handle whatever you throw at it. Seriously, with a yield strength of 150,000 psi, these nuts are built to last and can take a beating without breaking a sweat.

Now, let’s get into the details. The thread size is 1/2-20 in. RH, which is pretty standard, so you shouldn’t have any issues finding the right fit. These nuts come in a 12-point style, which not only looks slick but also provides a better grip when you’re tightening things down. You won’t have to worry about stripping them; they’re designed for durability.

One thing to note is that they don’t have a nylon insert or self-locking feature, but honestly, that’s not a deal-breaker for most applications. Just make sure you’ve got the right torque specs when you’re installing them, and you’ll be golden. The wrench diameter is 5/8 in., so you’ll need a socket that fits snugly to get them on tight.

The black oxide finish gives them a sleek look while also providing some corrosion resistance. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about keeping your hardware looking good and functioning well, especially if you’re off-roading or dealing with the elements.

Just a heads up, these nuts don’t come with washers, so you might want to grab some if you need them for your project. Overall, if you’re serious about your build and want something that can handle the pressure, this 10-pack of ARP nuts is a solid choice. They’re reliable, tough, and ready to take your vehicle to the next level.

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.
