Hardware & Clamps

Hardware & Clamps secure and position automotive components throughout the vehicle, including powertrain, chassis, body, and interior systems. This category encompasses threaded fasteners like bolts, nuts, and screws, alongside non-threaded components such as clips, retainers, and spring steel clamps. Materials commonly include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and plastic, often with protective coatings for corrosion resistance. Fasteners are specified by size, thread pitch, material grade, and coating; clamps are defined by hose/tube diameter, bandwidth, and material. Precise torque specifications are critical for proper function and safety, particularly in structural and fluid system applications.
