Are you talking about the bolts that hold the downpipe to the exhaust elbow?

Actually, those are 12 x 1.75....

Did you not have a hanger at the transmission crossmember?

Gotta have a hanger at the transmission crossmember, man...weight and vibration are what made it break.

Hey, be glad it wasn't your exhaust manifold or exhaust elbow that broke.

stinger agreed to send me another DP to trade for the one I have so he can research and make them stronger so it doesnt happen again. I'll have the ler shop make a hanger once I get the new DP installed

It's Gumby's fault.

You can get regular  nuts in that size about anywhere. Lowe's etc.


If you want deformed thread d locknuts like the stockers are, you'll have to order them from somewhere like McMaster-Carr.
