Header Bolts

[CrashBob]

Which type of header bolts are being used successfully out there? Definitely going with Classic Inlines Jet Sprayed headers. I looked at the header bolts offered by them and the design is great, just a little pricey according to my budget. However, if there is a huge advantage, I might go ahead and bite the bullet.

As usual, I listen to advice from those with experience.

Check e-bay for 1" X 3/8X16 tpi bolts. They are usually pretty cheap and will do the job nicely. You can also get allen head bolts from an auto supply store in grade 8. I would also recommend using anti-seize on any bolt, along with lock washers.

I used stainless allen head bolts on mine.

Works for me.

there are some out there with allen set screws in them, looks good in theory but dont bother. mine wouldnt set and i eventually ended up using thread lock on them without the set screws and they havent loosened up again yet

I used normal high-tensile bolts with hex heads - cheap and easy to get from your local bolt shop.

That's what I hoped to hear. Tool crib, here I come.

Thanks all!
