Title: Why are some bolts not magnetic, like thermostat bolts
Post by: terry paget on 13 November 2013, 20:50:18

I have noticed before a few Vx bolts are not magnetic. I noticed today the thermostat bolts are not. I wonder why.

The only none magnetic bolts on my car are those I've replaced with stainless steel  :-\

Until I read the posts, I thought the title was asking about "magnetic bolts" and not bolts that that are attracted to magnets because they are steel!! ::)
