Putting any exhausts on over studs is very difficult. The most I have ever used were two studs. One front. One rear.
This would hold the header in place while I started all of the other bolts.
Garth: I'm not sure where the original bolts were made but the point was there was no indication that the heads were metric at all.
The factory was also able to get them pretty tight. There must have been locking compound on them?
I've seen people listening to conversations about this and when they hear this part, they start yelling, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Shocking really!
