need4speed Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Does anyone do kits with brass nuts? The only kits i can find are from volksbolts but they are stainless studs and nuts, which might prove troublesome.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 From memory I looked at this a year or two back and found the only way was to buy the stainless kit then source brass nuts from elsewhere (I think it was Vehicle wiring products, but it could also have been Namrick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertspark Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 what thread are the exhaust manifold bolts? Can you not just get some corresponding studs and brass nuts? (I did buy the rimmer bros kit when I did my tubular exhaust on the rv8, now with the LS, think I'll just get the M8 studs and brass nuts).

mickeyw Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 5/16" UNF, assuming you mean the downpipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Phil, I used the Rimmer Bro's kit when I changed my exhaust, decent bit of kit The brass nuts have around twice the depth of a standard nut so you will be less likely to strip them.

FridgeFreezer Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Last set I bought were from Minispares or something like that, fine thread on the nut side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
