ARP Bolts ARP Chevy SS 12pt Thermostat Housing Bolt Kit, Stainless Steel, Set of 3
$6.95

If you're diving into a project with your Chevy SS, you know how important those little details can be. Let’s talk about the ARP 430-7401 Thermostat Housing Bolt Kit. These aren't just any bolts; they're crafted from stainless steel, which means they won't rust or corrode on you. Trust me, you want that peace of mind when you're working under the hood.

What sets these apart? First off, they come with a 12-point head style, which offers a better grip compared to standard hex bolts. This means less chance of stripping and more torque when you need it. Plus, the polished finish gives your engine bay a nice touch—because let’s face it, no one wants to see dull hardware when they pop the hood.

Each kit comes with three bolts, so you’ll have just what you need for that thermostat housing. It’s a small upgrade, but it can make a big difference in how everything looks and performs. Whether you're a weekend warrior or just keeping your daily driver in top shape, these bolts are a solid choice. They fit perfectly, and I can tell you from experience that they hold up well under pressure.

So, if you're ready to get your hands dirty and make sure your Chevy SS is running smoothly, grab this bolt kit. You'll appreciate the quality when you're knee-deep in your project.

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.
