Re: [mk2-16v] Struts & Springs
The bolts and nuts that hold the strut to the wheel bearing housing are one of two sizes, I believe the size of the shaft of the bolt is 11mm and 12mm, the thinner one allowing for camber adjustment. Torque nuts with 19mm hex head to 59 ft. lb. and torque the 18mm hex head to 70 ft. lb. Any VW dealer with a decent parts department old timer (if there are any left!) can help you out.

Re: [mk2-16v] Rust Resistance on Restored Fasteners and Metal? (Main Fuel Pump Assembly)
WD40 evaporates quickly but for temporary protection it would suit although I'd use P'Blaster as it leaves a film that does not go away and actually lubricates. That's why it does such a nice job in protecting electrical connections. Rustoleum Hammered would be my choice for the final paint, especially since you already have it primered. That stuff is a take-off of an old British product called Hammerite that was sold here in the U.S. until VOC regulations got it banned. It is, however, back and Sherwin-Williams stores now carry it. As far as replacement hardware goes, I've always used new Stainless nuts, bolts, washers, etc. along with LocTite Blue (Medium strength) so that disassembling them at some point in the future will be relatively easy. Using LocTite RED usually requires a blowtorch and an Act of God to get them loosened!! Most local hardware stores that carry Hillman or Midwest Fasteners products should be a good source. After I retired I spent 10 years working for a local True Value and their selection was all Midwest Fasteners and rarely was I forced to go elsewhere. Their "Nuts & Bolts" area consisted of two 40 foot aisles lined on both sides with everything imaginable. Good luck...Jack On 29 Feb 2016, at 11:25, Larry Velez wrote: Any tips on how to move forward from this point would be welcome.
