Hi All. As we dig deeper into our 914, we are finding a random assortment of nuts and bolts that I expect were incorporated into the car over the years. While I am not trying to source original hardware, I’d like to swap the odd ones out to be at more consistent (and, of course replacing any trashed/ rounded over/ damaged ones). Buying one or two at a time is going to get expensive and I cannot find a good reference for the right grade to use anyway (5.8, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9).
Is there a short list of the most common hardware found on our cars that I could use to start a collection of new ones?
Thank You!

Short answer is no list is available.
First, save all the old hardware, it can be refinished.
Use Porsche PET, I like this one -https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/pet/porsche/914/570u/
to get the correct sizes.
IIRC, some of the bolts that hold the front suspension to the car are grade 10 and the rest is grade 8 but I could be making that up.
Belmetric is a great source to order a couple or a whole bunch.
When I worked at the Porsche shop, we just ordered a box of every size nut and bolt from Wurth but that only makes sense if you are doing a bunch of cars. Better to just order what you need from Belmetric. They are very reasonable priced for hardware but you want to try to group your orders or shipping adds up quickly.

I just happened to place an order with Belmetric, This isn't every nut bolt and screw. It is about every m5, 6, 8,10, and 12 except the engines hardware. I also have 3 German cars so there is few spares. I'm buying steel cabinets with plastic divided boxes from Bolt depot. My attempt to have an ACE hardware in my garage, plus the hardware will be the right color. I hope to cut back on my weekly runs to ACE and returning with a tiny bag of hardware that I spent $20 on.

Wow! That long list is amazing! And the final price is great, considering how much was ordered.
Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. It looks like I am headed to Belmetric for a shopping spree.
I will always try to use the original except when it is obvious it has been changed. Will keep and refinish wherever I can.
Thanks all!!
Sounds like a good plan. I went the re-plate and replace with original (new and used) route and would not be surprised if it cost 10x and took months to execute.
I am ordering that list for our next build
. Thanks!

Death to the cheeseheads !! I replaced every one on my engine including all the warm air guides with SS socket head screws. Bought a box from McMaster Carr & never looked back

Thanks @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=23951 for this great shopping list. Super helpful. I'd add M8 schnorr washers for the CV bolts (16...but since you need to replace at least 8 of them every time you drop the engine, I'd get 50).
I remember also using schnorr washers under the bolts on the strut tower plates.

The OE case through bolts used a "nylock" style nut that had a red top sealant on it.
Are those OE fasteners still available?

Rich,
I recently bought some of those nuts as they are used to seal the oil pump
I went to a VW bug shop on line and bought them

I put this list into a CSV file, which can be used on Belmetric's Quick Order page. You can edit the file, or it is probably easier to edit after it's been uploaded.
The Belmetric upload function is pretty hapless, if you make changes to the file that don't fit it's narrow requirements it will often just fail without any message.
