All you need is the standard bolts, none of that shiny stainless steel crap and some of copper slip grease on the threads.

while you got the subframe off , blast some oil / waxoil / dinitrol / anything similar into the heel board subframe mounting holes

 

put a rag in the sill vent (temporary) to stop it dripping out straight away

 

anything that repels water in this area will be a benefit in the future

 

(all the above if you aren't going to be welding in the area soon)

Okay, thanks for the replies. I will be purchasing the minispares set and leaving the stainless bits well alone for load bearing parts.

 

I planned on undersealing/waxoiling the crap out of everything whilst the subframe is off, I definitely don't want rot.

I can supply this all in one.

 

No need for all different suppliers, with all different postage costs

 

See Richmond Classics Car Parts  site, many know this already, saves lots of money on postage as it is all in one !

 

I have also built rear subframes for people over 30 years

 

Always a pleasure to help

 

Kind Regards, Neil & Jacqui.
