Sidepipe Bolts

[thudmaster]

Now Howie, if that was my Spf I would weld them to the heads...........
I used grade 8 stainless bolts and nuts on Spf 2742. I had my son come over once a month and tighten everything for me. Of course he would have to take the car away for a day or two just to make sure he got it right.
How's the weather in Washington these days?

The first problem I had was chunks of weld around the inside area of the headers and side pipes so they would leak and blow out gaskets. When I put a straight edge on either there were high spots. I fixed that and got new gaskets.

I used regular grade 8 bolts and these if I remember right.



but might have been these.



With the flat matching surfaces they never came loose. The bolts are used once and typically break when you take them off.

Never reuse the bolts even if they come off.
