exhaust header nuts
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 10:06 am
Anyone constructed a metal nut retainer like some cruiser engines have?
A thin strip of stainless steel in a semi-circle with holes and
fold-overable tabs on the ends might work.
The strip would fit over the exhaust flange studs. The nuts could be
tightened and then the tabs bent in place
along a flat on each nut - holding them in place.
