ARP head studs and nuts...who sells

Does anyone have a web site for a vendor selling the arp head studs and nuts
Thx TOBY

www.summitracing.com

you can also get them from vendors on this site like Robert Kirk, etc.

they're not hard to find

I am confused by your question. Why not google "ARP" and find their web site and buy direct?

http://arp-bolts.com/

their catalog is very well written, I highly recommend getting a print copy, as they explain much about fastener use, how they are designed, and how to get the most from them

BTW,

not too long ago I wanted to find stainless fasteners for my thermostat housing, and after trying various usual sources (including minispares, which listed a few different length ones) I was not able to find what would fit a '74 Midget 1275 thermostat housing (which is rather thick, but not as thick as the A+ one used on post '84 minis).

finally, I tried (as a last resort) the ARP catalog, and found what I needed almost immediately

I called them and they sold them to me direct, and the price was way below anywhere else that I had found

I do have to admit though, that looking at their website just now, they don't give the impression that they sell direct, though there is a dealer locator on their home page. However, it seemed like they didn't have any issue selling to me when I called. Also, the guy who I talked to explained things to me, like the difference between the thin and the thick washers that they sell and how to decide between them, which I had wondered about. A typical vendor likely wouldn't have known the answer, or even brought it up.

If you don't want to go direct to ARP, then I agree with Chris, to buy them from Robert, or from Hap, both regular posters here who will help you make sure that what you get is what you need (unlike the big vendors).

Yeah, I'm a little higher on this part, most folks don't seem to mind if they are lumping all this together in a big alotment of parts, I've got to make a certain mark up to survive, and it's not always about the being the cheapest on a given part, if this is all you need, then go with a place like Summit or Jegs they will always be less than direct, manufactuers will always price higher directly, they are protecting the pricing of their high volume buyers, like Summit or Jegs. I don't even buy my custom race pistons direct from JE anymore, I spec them out thru JE, then create a job number, then I give that job number to my middle man wholesaler who then saves me, and my customer a ton of money, this is how this industry works today.

I did not expect them to seel to the commom folks so I did not consider them. I just sent for a catalog. I expect them to be a bit pricey and maybe overkill but I am curious.

Does ARP have a drop ship program, or is it only direct ship to distributor?

I know that for some items (not spridget related) I've ordered from the manufacturer "store" and paid the premium to get the part faster.

Trevor, yes if the vendor does not have the part in stock, there is $5 drop ship charge and that would almost always be the case of the big generic vendors, but that should be included in their price, I would say 75% of all the ARP I sell in my engine kits is dropped shipped from ARP, yet ordered by me from someone else. Now truth being known a large vendor like Summit may not even have to pay this charge, based on thier volume, nobody in the business, except the large retailers orders direct from the manufactuer anymore.

#206-4201. Summit has them for $119 plus shipping (unless you cAn visit a local retail center).

Comes with ALL the head studs (not just the head holding studs) nuts and washers.
