What type/grade bolts/nuts/washer to use with these lower aftermarket arms
I got a pair of the bell race works lower front control arms. They suggest you use a moot part that bolts to the arms and makes it easily replaceable/serviceable. The parts looks good and like they fit together, but neither part comes with the nuts needs to secure the 2 together. There is also an extra bolt hole which I’m assuming gets a bolt and nut.
My question is what type of hardware can I buy? The moog parts clearly say they only come with the crown nut.
Bell race works says to use the existing hardware or what comes with moog parts. Since my stock arms aren’t like this, what could I use to keep the car strong and safe. I can try ace or a fastener place and order some 8.8 or 10.9 parts. Any suggestions?
below you will find pics of the arm with each side of the ball joint part.

I would try and get 10.9 fasteners from a company that specialized in making them, not generic stuff where you have no idea what the actual quality is. I'd give you a recommendation if I had one, will help to go to a place that sells fasteners and ask.
Hope you have good luck with those Moog parts I've had them new where they forget to pack them with grease.

I will add more grease in case and one of the reasons I liked these arms is I can swap the whole thing out. I emailed this time instead of calling and they responded that I would need 2 bolts that are m12x1.25 at least 45mm long. I will also need 6 m12x1.25 nuts. They recommended 10.9 bolts and said the moog parts used to come with additional hardware.
Hopefully this information is useful for anyone else using these arms.
