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?  |

You want a flange nut. They are much stronger than a nut with a washer, as well as easier to use.
You do not want a prevailing torque (locking) fastener as they will make the exhaust studs back out. There are prevailing torque copper coated flange nuts that are used on other German cars (BMW I think) that often get sold for our cars. I've used these as well, after running a tap through them. |

I used the BMW ones on my 6 motor and on a 4,found them very good and they don't come loose,bought them off Pelican and seem to remember they were cheap enough,good solution. |
