Hi all, I am currently working on my exhaust system on 328GTB USA Car. Anyways, The exhaust system has none of the original flange bolts/nuts/springs assemblies, nor the doughnut gaskets, just regular flat gaskets. Just wondering if anyone has a handful of those springs and spacers laying that I can get from you I will be sourcing out the bolts, nuts and washers myself locally. I checked with a couple of local muffler shops here in town, no one knows what I am talking about. I will still continue trying to find them around here as well. Regards
They are listed under the more modern parts books as an "F40" application. Easy enough, to call Daniel at Ricambi and score at least one kit, as an example.
They are pricey from the dealer, I've used stainless hardware from McMaster Carr. BTW, original fasteners are studs with shoulders meant to provide a set clamp load. If you use bolts, you got to "wing-it" as far as how much to tighten. The original fasteners are better. If you want to keep the orig engineering (which is always good practice), you might look at Lancia hardware.
