ARP Bolts 5/16-24 x 5.000 12pt Stainless Steel Bolts (5/pkg) with Washers Included
$26.95

If you're diving into a project that demands some serious strength and reliability, let me tell you about these ARP 5/16-24 x 5.000 12-point stainless steel bolts. I’ve used them in a few builds and honestly, they’ve never let me down.

First off, the fastener size is 5/16-24 in. RH, which is pretty standard for a lot of applications, but don’t underestimate the power packed into that size. The underhead length is a solid 5 inches, giving you plenty of grip and stability when you need it most. The 12-point head style? It’s a game changer. It allows for better torque application without slipping, which is crucial when you’re working on something that needs to withstand some serious stress.

What really stands out to me is the material. These bolts are made from ARP Stainless 300, which means they’re not just shiny for looks; they’re built to last. With a polished finish, they not only resist corrosion but also add a bit of flair to your engine bay or chassis. Plus, they boast a yield strength of 180,000 psi. That’s some serious muscle for holding things together, whether you’re racing or just cruising around town.

And if you’re wondering about the wrench size, you’ll need a 3/8 in. to get these bad boys tightened down just right. Oh, and they come with washers included, which is a nice touch—no need to hunt down extra parts when you’re in the zone.

These bolts come in a pack of five, so you’ve got a few extras for your next project or just in case you misplace one (we’ve all been there). All in all, if you're looking for reliable fasteners that won't let you down, these ARP bolts are worth every penny.

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.
