LotusFella Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Yes they’re the ones i was talking about. Very expensive for a nut. Was hoping might be available elsewhere cheaper. Do you know the size at all? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowrx Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 When it comes time to get the nuts back off, any cost of anti-corrosion measures will seem trivial! But there's lots of hardware out there, there should be many versions of the common M10 x 1.5 for the high heat application if you shop around. I used inexpensive copper coated flange nuts, but I'm guessing the pricy stuff should be better. Use some high temp anti-seize compound on reassembly.

mike_sekinger Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Honestly, I`d get the correct nuts and not spend time thinking about saving 20 quid.

LotusFella Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 Yes you’re right. I’ve also found them on SJSports cars site for a little less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
