Chrysler K-car,uses springs for there exhaust were it bolts up to the manifold. The springs look approx the same try those. Really cheap and they do last. |

A local muffler shop might be able to help also, at least they should know where to get hold of some. Ferrari does ask stupid prices for things, the only parts I buy from them are bone stock stuff that you can only get through them. They're crazy for the most part. |

I know that the "Help" line of automotive products available at pep-boys offers these types of spring bolts (they usually have a whole wall of their products and a catalog hanging)...I found a set that worked for an old renault GTA that I fixed up...complete bolt..spring and nut... |

Chris, I can't make a comment on this as I've only had them for less than a week, but I've made my own spring-bolt assemblies. Just went down to a local industrial supply store and picked up some fairly stout springs and bolts that fit. They held-up fine and stayed tight on my recent trip to Seattle, so I expect them to last from now on... |

I don't think they're all that special. There are 2 per connection: 4 for header to cat and 4 for cat to exhaust. I was hoping someone had already matched them up to something I could find at an auto parts store or Home Depot or something. |

are they special bolts and springs you cant find in a normal hardware store? What's so special about them?

I need 2 exhaust bolts with the spring and nut for a 1994 348 Spider. Does anyone know where I could find some for a reasonable price? The dealer wants $12.12each for the bolts, $14.25each for the springs, and $1.17ea for the nuts! I think they're nuts. Can these be had somewhere else? Are they used on any other vehicles? |
