Exhaust studs

[whale]

I have to take the pipes off my GSX 1100 to change the oil and the ally block is getting decidedly second hand with all the traffic

I want to put studs in the block instead of threading bolts in and out. They are, however, harder to find than I thought

Any ideas?

[TurboKat]

Use a set screw (bolt with the thread all the way to the underside of the hex/socket) & cut the head off?

[Deano]

Use high tensile ones as well and if using zinc plated put the cut end in the head so the end of it won't look crap as it goes rusty

[NINJAINOZ]

What thread (size/pitch) do you need the studs to be & how much thread depth is there in the head?

[Deano]

Being a zook I would say m8x1.25 pitch and probably 35-40mm at a guess

Most Jap cars run M8 x 1.25 studs, you can buy kits of these with all sorts of sizes included or any good industrial bolt store will definetely have them.

[Deano]

they are 6mm so best check what you need before ordering

GSX is M8 x 1.25, those studs should be easy to get.
