Exhaust mounting studs

(1/2) > >>

Athame57:
I've just wire brushed my exhaust mounting studs, those seemingly over length things that hold the flanges on, after fitting some shiny new stainless steel nuts on them. They are forever getting rusty and they annoy,  >:( like a spot on a super models face.  :o Before I invest about £50.00 for a new set from DSS, has anyone else done this and did they stay rust free long enough to justify their purchase?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I believe Tina at TSS fasteners does studs & nuts in SS for less than DS.
Worth an e-mail to them it will probably be less than half the price.
I was sent a sample stud when I had some cam cover bolts from them.

Stainless nuts on stainless bolts are not the best idea

Will Copper slip not ease any galling  issues?

Bryanj:
Initially yes but remember they get undone so rarely it wont last
