exhaust studs

Post by fairwynds »

Hi
what are the alternatives for exhaust studs - does anywhere do anything that lasts longer than steel ones? If I put a stainless exhaust on van, seems daft having ordinary steel studs? Any ideas/experiences please?

I use plated bolts (M8 X 30), change them every 2 years, as they are cheap.
there are two difficult ones to get in so I use M8 threaded bar cut to length. But M8 X 25 just fits
