What a pain. 7/16x14 and 7/16x20 won't spin on, M12x1.75 spins on but is loose on the threads, M10 is too small. Anyone know the answer to Ford's riddle?

Can't find M11 hardware at any local stores.

FYI.

The studs and nuts on 2.3L 4 cyl manifolds are the same as the 5.0 headers. Got 6 just in case...

are you talking header bolts?

i don't remember any of them having studs and nuts.

i have some of those though , pretty sure....moroso i think.

i don't believe they are metric.

i just went to the store and bought header bolts for a 5.0 (ramchargers)

anyway...i think i have a few i could mail out or something.

The nuts that go on the studs for bolting up the h-pipe. Got 'em.
