turbo inlet studs

[White Comet]

i've done lots of searching on the forums and called every local place i can think of, but i have no luck finding these. just to be clear, i'm looking for the studs that go into the turbo manifold to connect it to the turbo. the size is 8x1.25m.

don't get me wrong, i've found them on phase2 and at teh local dealer, but i really dont want to pay $30 for 4 studshttp://www.phase2motortrend.com/cispsttuinst.html

if anyone can find these at a price that doesn't break the bank, i'd appreciate it. thanks for your help

What's the overall length of those studs?The ones I found are only steel, no stainless.But they have either a plain finish, black finish, or black oxide finish.

[White Comet]

i'm not sure on exact length. i'd have to measure. as long as it's close though (not too short) it'd work

thanks for replying

I got the grade 8 studs for that at Carquest. Only place I know of that sells grade 8 metric.

hmm thanks for the heads up. carquest is literally the ONLY place i didn't call. i don't really think of them for hardware.

Yeah it sucks I had to buy 2 new exhuast manifold studs/nuts/ washers and it was 32 dollars

Last time we needed some I think we jus picked up some threaded rod and cut to length. Worked fine, just have to clean up both ends before threading in. McMaster is definitely the ish!

see i was was going to do something similar. i bought bolts and figured i'd thread them through the manifold from the back and the hex head woudl also help hold everything in place, but for most of them, you don't have the room to get the bolt threaded from the back. good idea though

i'm looking for the studs

[White Comet]

i'm surprised it took someone this long to make that joke. i made sure every time i called to ask for THREADED studs. the last thing you want to do is call a hardware store and ask for studs

[White Comet]

you think thats a good deal? maybe i should be asking you for stud buying advice

[ishkabibble]

I get all of my studs for free. Dan sends me his leftovers.
