Type 4 exhaust studs

« on: December 20, 2011, 08:38:12 AM »
I need at least two exhaust studs for my bus. On one the nut was fused to the stud and I can't get it removed. On the other, apparently I didn't torque it down enough and it rattled loose and fell out.

I have new copper nuts and now I just need the studs. I have only found them from German Supply and with shipping from Canada, two studs would cost me about $40. I can't find a source for them anywhere else.

Have you tried ACE Hardware . . . they carry a lot of odd ball metric nuts and bolts.  I've even found "step studs" there.  They are kind'a high on their metric stuff, but if they have what you need, it will be a whole lot cheaper than $40!

I have gotten beetle exhaust studs from the one down the street.
Nice.

Sounds like I need to take a trip to Ace then.

If Ace doesnt have them, call Gex. He has tons of both the normal studs and the oversized ones "in case they pull out of the POS heads"..... dont ask me how I know this...
