ARP Bolts ARP VW 020 M9 Ring Gear Bolt Kit, 12-Point, 9mm x 1.00, Chromoly, Black Oxide
$119.95

If you're diving into a VW project or just need to replace those old ring gear bolts, the ARP VW 020 M9 Ring Gear Bolt Kit is a solid choice. These bolts are built tough, with a 12-point head style that makes it easy to get a good grip when you’re tightening things down. The 9mm x 1.00 thread size fits perfectly in the right spots, ensuring a snug fit that you can rely on.

One thing I really appreciate is the underhead length of 1.200 inches. It gives you just the right amount of clearance without being too long or short, which can be a hassle in tight spaces. Plus, these bolts boast a fastener yield strength of 200,000 psi. That means they’re not just for show; they can handle some serious torque without flinching.

And let’s talk about the material—these are made from chromoly, which is known for its strength and durability. Coupled with a black oxide finish, they resist corrosion and wear, which is a must when you’re dealing with the harsh conditions that come with off-roading or just everyday driving.

Each kit comes with a washer included, so you won’t be scrambling to find the right one when you’re ready to install. It’s sold as a set, so you’ve got everything you need to get the job done right. Overall, if you want reliability and strength in your VW setup, 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.
