Does anyone make them, or do you just buy some studs from a hardware store? I'd sure like to see some with a hex head top like an ARP...

TIA...

Something like these?



I just picked them up at a local fastner supply shop. Got 12 studs and all stainless washers and nuts for $25. The studs are 10mm x1.50, 40mm in length. 2 of the studs where 60mm in length so I would have a place to slide the opie by-pass bracket over after the manifold was torqued. Only thing I would recommend doing different than I did is get flange nuts,like the factory ones that held the heat shield to the manifold..these will keep you from having to use a wrench to tighten some of the bottom nuts that a socket wouldnt get on because of the larger hex nuts.

 

Wow! That sure looks nice.

 

Thanks, HW. I was really wondering if anyone made them, or were they only a common purchase.

Looks sharp under there. What size is that turbo?

 

Thanks Bark. Just got done over thanksgiving swapping stuff out

Madhat, its a 64/71/13ss Let me know if you cant locate any local. I pass the place I got mine a couple times a week and would be more than happy to pick you up a set and ship.



You can see the longer studs in this pic so I could bolt the bracket over top. And also the studs are grade 10.9

 

Im not ready to do any mods on my truck yet but when I do I am going to get those studs. They look like you could tighten and loosen them all day long without goofing them up. Like madhat said, What size is that turbo? It looks a little different from my stock one.

 

I'm sure I'll be able to find them, but if I can't, I'll keep you in mind.

I was just wondering... mine looks a lot bigger, the only difference being a 16ss exhaust housing. Must be the angle of the camera or something. Maybe your engine bay is just cleaner than mine!

 

i think he's lacking the external oiling system that many of us have
