Exhaust studs
« on: March 17, 2018, 02:05:28 PM »
I am replacing a MAC 4 to 1 exhaust with a Hindle system on a 78 CB550. From what I have seen / read it would be to my benefit to install 45mm studs.

There has been no luck in trying to locate 6mm x 45mm stainless studs.

Can anyone suggest a source or ease my mind that 40mm studs will work.

Edit: The stock studs are already out - so replacement with a new stud is inevitable

Thanks,
Steve

+1 ^^^ and Stainless galls EASY after heat, so the nickel silver anti-seize is a priority on stainless. I would go for the grade 8 carbon, and still use the anti-seize. I use it on every bolt I remove. Matter of fact, I got some on me right now from a bolt I just removed in the clutch cover lol... Usually get some on me from just walking past the anti-seize can.

Scroll to the M6 flange head bolts. Use the dropdown to select 45mm, and enter qty of 8. Apply Zinc-based AntiSieze (aluminum-stainless formula, the messy grey stuff) and use new copper crush O-rings.

It seems lots of us here have an affinity for anti-seize. I use it religiously and ya it seems to spread as if it’s got a mind of its own.
