EXHAUST STUD NUT ALTERNATIVES
Is there anything special about the nuts that are used on the exhaust manifold to block studs? I need some new ones and they are over $4.00 each (NEED 20) through the suppliers. I just want to buy some the same size at Ace if possible. Gunar

This is probably the ideal application for the special yellow
metal manifold nuts discussed in a recent post.

I haven't read the thread that Brian mentioned but I intend to try the 911 exhaust manifold nuts. They are copper coated m6 x 1.25 and use a 12 mm wrench (reduced head). I got them from Pelican for like $10 for a set of 20. They tarnish right away but so far on my 911 haven't rusted (only been 6 months).
There was also some interest over in the 944 world a few years ago about using a GM exhaust stud. I'm not as convinced on that but it has tip kinda like a torx shaped driver on the end to help with install and removal. At least a few people liked them.
Just some ideas...Bruce

We sell the correct ones (OEM) for $1 each if that helps.
