Header Bolt size
Hi all:
Had a fun filled day replacing my entire exhaust on my 85 GS. I bought a RB header and pre-silencer off eBay. Come to find out the pre-silencer is from an 80-83 RX-7. A bit shorter than the one needed for my 85. A few of us rigged a pipe to connect the mid-pipe to the muffler. All was well, or so we thought. When we went to fire up the car, there was a huge exhaust leak coming from the header. What we found was the wingnut who put on the oem headers used the wrong size bolt. The top bolt holes in the manifold are basically stripped. Anyone know what bolt size is needed for a replacement? I think I need a 10 x 1.50 bolt. Can anyone verify this for me? I am going to go to an industrial supply place tomorrow to get a replacement bolt. Anyone have any idea's?
Thanks in advance
Kevin
