Construction & Design

The ARP 12pt Hardware Kit features fasteners made from ARP's renowned 8740 chromoly steel, a material celebrated for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and toughness. Each bolt is meticulously heat-treated to maximize tensile strength and fatigue resistance, ensuring they withstand the rigors of high-performance driving and demanding conditions.

The black oxide finish provides a corrosion-resistant barrier, protecting the fasteners from rust and environmental damage. The 12-point head design allows for increased torque application and easier access in confined spaces, making installation and removal more straightforward compared to traditional hex-head bolts. Precision machining ensures each fastener maintains tight tolerances, resulting in a secure fit and consistent performance across all applications.
