Various Fasteners
AN Airframe Bolts
Aerospace hardware, primarily AN (Air Force/Navy), MS (Military Specification) and NAS (National Aerospace Standard) and used throughout the racing industry, have been around for over 30 years. This basic group of fasteners have remained unchanged because of their rigid quality control standards and they do the job!The AN hex head, fine thread, aircraft-spec bolts, have a minimum tensile strength of 125,000 psi, and a minimum shear strength of 75,000 psi. Superior to "Grade 8" tension bolts, for almost all shear load race car applications.

Proper use of these AN bolts requires the use of washers.
Elastic self locking nuts are available in both a standard height and a thin versions (approximately 25 - 30% thinner)
Jam
nuts, used for locking the threaded portion a rod-end bearing, in both right and left handed , SAE fine threads. Starting at 1/4"-28
and running through 3/4"-16. Note, with their narrow width and fewer threads to torque, they should be replaced often.
Jet nuts
are a reduced hexagon, self locking, reduced height nut, used in reduced clearance
or high heat applications. Available from -3 (10-32UNF) to -8 (1/2-20UNF) sizes,
plus various metric sizes. The method of locking is by an elliptically deformed
head, and repeated use will diminish it's locking capability while being harsh on
threads. If you have an
application that requires repeated removal of a fastener, such as on a gearbox
cover, the standard AN self locking nut would be a better alternative.
Aluminum Aero washers provide a larger clamping and
a cleaner airflow when using button head fasteners to mount wings to their end plates.
Available for 1/4" or 3/16" diameter fasteners, both with a
1" outside diameter.
