Re: Ram Horn Exhaust Bolts

The local auto parts stores have the studs in their "Help" section packaged up in sets of three.

Exhaust bolts for manifolds can be made by cutting regular grade 5 bolts to length. Thread size is 3/8-16. If you need help on the lengths repost.

Re: Ram Horn Exhaust Bolts

I just restored the exhaust manifolds on my '71 C10 and have this to offer ...

While normal hardware story bolts will work, within a few hundred miles the extreme heat causes them to get a weird rusted look. Thus, spend a few more dollars to get the bolts constructed in stainless steel.
