Bag of Bolts, Candy, and Razorblades
 
I want to buy a bolt kit to replace typical rusty nuts and bolts that come off the Miata. In the past some dismantlers would sell ~20-30lb bags at discount but I reached out to a few and they no longer do it. I generally snap the thinner bolts so I'd like to keep more of those on hand. Can someone confirm the typical thread pitch of the M6s and 8s that appear in the NAs?

The kit below has M6x1 and M8x1.25 and some larger M10s - will it cover what I'm trying to do?

Lots of M6x1.0 on a Miata. Pay attention to the torque required for each one. Those grade 10.9 bolts will easily strip out the aluminum. That eBay kit will get you a long way to rebuilding and cheaper than buying them 1 or 2 at a time at an Ace hardware store where I bought most of mine but I also wanted a silver/SS finish color as well.

Thanks, I am so done with going to ace or home depot racing with a single snapped bolt. I ended up buying this one for the organizer at a little more per bolt: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Class-8-8-H...kAAOSwN3Na0lU3

You lucked out picking this second one. It has all M10x1.25 bolts, which seems to be the thread pitch mazda used everywhere. The other kit was all M10x1.5.

I usually get m6 and m6 in stainless to avoid rust I found good deals on Amazon M6x1.0 in 12mm used in multiple places.
