clone exaust studs fell out!

[dirt]

hi my yellow clone exaust studs fell out! i was riding and then the exaust was gone. i tried to remove the studs fron a old parts motor, pb buster and vice grips stripped them. should i mail order new studs for $2.00 and $10.95 shipping or get metric 1" BOLTS at lowes?

Id get bolts ....just cut em off and dress the ends with a file or bench grinder.....

To install or remove them,,,,,use a double nut jammed against each other on the threads ...then you can get at it with a wrench.....

Vise grips are second only to a hammer in what they can destroy....I use them every day (tin knocker)

I use bolts, but you could probably pick up studs at a hardware shop.

could you just replace them with bolts, no studs?

Get metric set screws that size and length and then use an allen wrench to install or remove them later on if needed...:thumbsup:

Get drilled allen head bolts and after installing safety wire them.
