Was trying to order manifold to head seal rings and OE exhaust nuts for my 1.8 from Pelican but just can't find the nuts on there web site. Do they just not sell them? Thanks for any and all insight on this.

I had a hard time finding these in the online catalog - but I found them.

Lock Nut, (Split Collar) - 8 X 1.25 mm (12 mm Hex)
Part #: 07190-M36

I'm not completely thrilled with some of the effects of the reorganization of the catalog.

I don't see any reference now to the aftermarket copper-coated nuts, where they used to be in the catalog. I did a search on the stock part number, and found the following:

At $15+ each, they're pretty darned expensive!

Ping Bruce Stone, he is in the Sales department and should be able to help out.

Check over on theSamba.com for the copper exhaust nuts. Same as the Bus and Beetle.

Thanks part number 07190-M36 looks correct .50 cents a piece looks good to me.

Are these required? For my 2.0 I was just going to put on some new nuts and washers with copper anti seize. Is this not good enough

I like the copper plated licking nuts. 12 mm head is much easier than 13mm. I buy a big bag on amazon or eBay.

Mark did you mean 8mm nuts? Those are the size of my exhaust studs.

Edit: You said the head of the nut...that makes sense

Crimp nuts on exhaust studs are a disaster waiting to happen. They lock down on the stud, as designed, and when you try to remove them later they will very likely either pull the stud out of the head or strip the threads off the stud, which ever puts up the least resistance.

Regular nuts with copper anti seize torqued properly and then double nutted is the best approach.

What Len said. Learned that the hard way.
