Took the exhaust system off of the car
------ '74, 2.0L all stock ------- to replace a stud (see my last post on the lost stud) I wanted to get new nuts to go with the new studs so i researched and bought brass nuts advertised by EMPI The ones I took off are steel with copper thread inserts, I have no experience with either, thoughts? |

Don't use the common copper colored "exhaust" nuts. Really hard on your head studs. Do use the thin profile 8mm nuts that can be found at Belmetric and McMaster Carr. If you can find them flanged thats even better. Zach |
