Exhaust Donut Bolts

[x2thez]

Hey guys, hopeing you can help me. I am tearing down the Vector tonight to replace the exhaust donuts. I want to replace the Allen Bolts with new hex stainless bolts. But the problem is since I dont have it apart yet I dont know the bolt size and was hoping someone would know the bolt size and thread pattern of the replacement so I can stop and pick 3 of them up so I have them ready tonight....


And of course trails open tomorrow.... Nothing like waiting till last minute....

Thanks GUYS!

Not sure what size they are as far as thread and length. Good luck getting the old ones out, I had to grind the heads off of all 4 of mine, they would not turn loose.

CHANGE THE CLAMPS AND BOLTS THE SAME TIME YOU CHANGE DONUTS aand put copper ones in.

If you need just the bolts you can purchase them at Lowes.

you should change the clamps because they wear when the donuts get used and if you keep the clamps and even file the spacer down to make them clamp harder they will wear into the pipes and that will get very expensive

I don't know the size of the bolt, if I were to guess it's an M6 or 4 and the thread is 1.25

I just replaced my donuts and I just broke the bolts, grinded off the nuts and rewelded new nuts and used hex bolts

The new gaskets come with new bolts !
Soak the old bolts with PB blast and they will come right out , clean threads in clamps and reinstall !
