[Mgs] exhaust stud

[Max Heim]

I suppose the problem is that it isn’t accessed often; hence nuts & threads get rusted. Brass nuts would be the way to go, since it isn’t a high torque situation. Although that doesn’t help if you need to extract the studs for some reason. But the most common reason to do that is because the threads are messed up.

The last time mine came off was in 2016, the time before that when I fitted the stainless exhaust in 1993 with a restudded (standard studs) cast manifold in place of an extractor manifold and down-pipes.  The nuts came undone and the studs were fine.
