Bolts: Series/Types

 

 

 
AN3-AN20 Airframe Bolts

General Specifications
   

Length Chart
   
 

The most commonly available aircraft-spec bolts: these hex head, fine threaded fasteners have a minimum tensile strength of 125,000 psi and a minimum shear strength of 75,000 psi. Length of thread is consistent within each diameter, and grips (unthreaded shank) are available in 1/8" increments beginning at 1/16". Vastly superior to "Grade 8" tension bolts for almost all shear-type, race car chassis applications.

 

 

   

 

 

NAS 1103/6203 and 

Close Tolerance Bolts

 General Specifications
   

 Length Chart
   
 

These fine-threaded, dimpled-head hex bolts have a minimum tensile strength of 160,000 psi and a minimum shear strength of 95,000 psi. Thread length is consistent within each diameter (1103/6203 series have a shorter thread), and grips are available in 1/16" increments beginning at 1/16". Used in applications where a premium-quality, high strength bolt is necessary.

 

 

 

NAS 1303/6603 Series

Close Tolerance Bolts

 General Specifications
   

 Length Chart
   
 

These fine-threaded, dimpled-head hex bolts have a minimum tensile strength of 160,000 psi and a minimum shear strength of 95,000 psi. Thread length is consistent within each diameter (1103/6203 series have a shorter thread), and grips are available in 1/16" increments beginning at 1/16". Used in applications where a premium-quality, high strength bolt is necessary.

         
 

NAS 624/MS 21250 Series

12 Point External

Wrenching Bolts

 General Specifications
   

 Length Chart
 
   

These fine-threaded, twelve-point head bolts have a minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi and a minimum shear strength of 108,000 psi. Thread length is consistent within each diameter and standard grips are in 1/8" increments beginning at 1/8". These bolts also have a large radius between the bolt head and shank for additional strength. This requires the use of the MS 20002C series beveled washer under the head. A "Superbolt" for the most demanding applications. Please note that "odd" grips, i.e. –15, –23, etc., are not standard and may not always be available. Please inquire for specifics.

 

 

 

MS 20004 Series

Internal Wrenching Bolts

 General Specifications
   

 Length Chart
 
   

Used where construction necessitates the use of an internal wrenching (Allen hex socket) bolt, they are fine-threaded with a minimum tensile strength of 160,000 psi and a minimum shear strength of 96,000 psi. Standard grips are in 1/8" increments beginning at 1/8". Like the NAS 624 series, they require the use of the MS 20002C beveled washer under the head. Another alternative for critical or limited access applications. PLEASE NOTE THAT HEAD BASE DIAMETERS AND HEAD HEIGHTS ON TWELVE-POINT HEAD AND INTERNAL WRENCHING BOLTS ARE IDENTICAL. Note also that like 12 point bolts, "odd" grips are not standard and may not always be available. Please inquire for specifics.

 

 

   

 

 

NAS 6303 

High Temperature

Alloy Hex Bolts

 General Specifications
   

 Length Chart
 
   

Made from A286 stainless steel alloy, rated for 1200°F operation. Minimum tensile strength is 160,000 psi; minimum shear strength is 95,000 psi. The brake hat bolt of choice for all serious race cars. Note: the accompanying charts may be used for grips and lengths on NAS6203 series also; they are identical.

 

 

   

 

 

NAS 1102 Torq-Sets

 General Specifications

 
   

These are fully threaded (UNF) 100° flat head screws with a torq-set drive recess; 160,000 psi tensile strength. Used where high strength, a large head area and a positive drive are required (wings, undertrays, etc.). We also stock the drive tools and mating Tinnerman washers.

 

 

   

 

 

Other MS & NAS Bolts

  *See note below
   

The bolts described above represent over 80% of current and race car chassis usage. However, there are many other configurations and materials available under MS and NAS part numbers: contact us with your requirements and we can make a recommendation and provide technical details. Contact us for information on custom configurations.

 

NOTE:

 Tensile strengths on AN3-AN20 bolts are equal to SAE grade 5. Tensile strengths on all other series are at least equal to SAE grade 8.
