    Not a biggie but I'm missing one of the stock Allen nuts on the exhaust stud and the hex nut works fine but it'd be nice to have the nuts symmetrical.

    If you have an extra one, let me know

    Thanks

    Any "Well-stocked" hardware Store with an elaborate "Hardware and Fasteners" section will have what you need.

    Consider replacing OEM Hardware with higher-quality HARDENED fasteners.

    Your looking for:
    Cap Screws
    Metric
    Allen

    Rick,

    I've tried the local hardware stores & they have never seen anything like the Allen nut I brought in. This is yuppie New England where I'm at & the hardware stores don't have a clue. Same dance, different song...

    Wait a minute, ....

    Are you looking for the "Nut" that fastens the Exhaust Collar to the Exhaust Port Stud?

    If that's what your trying to replace, ... you should get rid of all those Nuts, too.

    That Nut is a "Speed-Nut".
    A long, nut with a shouldered bottom.

    That Nut is used to keep the Build moving quickly.
    The assembler had a fastener that stayed-put in the socket while the Exhaust Collars got Buttoned-up.

    You can get from Yammie.

    Just "Nut". Period. Nothing special.

    Check that.
    There IS something special about them.

    Price!
