Exhaust Headers

[fazersharp]

if you go for dome nuts, make sure that the thread on the stud does not contact with the dome inside when torqued up, easy to get this wrong as the gaskets will compress when the nuts are tihjtened and lead to the stud tightening against the dome inner, givine the feeling that its fitted correctly when it isnt. A simpler option is to use connector nuts so its not a problem how much thread is exposed https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-a2-st...pack/4720g

Good tip with the connector nuts. The acorn nuts can be had with elongated heads but you still might have the problem of bottoming out. As the OEM nut has a flange has anyone also added a washer.
