I want to install the exhaust to the engine...
I have several (6 to be exact) exhaust nuts that came from the engine and these are size 12mm, so I need 2 more
Here at Europe we can only buy the metric 13mm nuts.
I also see on the PET list that there are 4 flange's (number 6"" at the PET) at the drawings..
I've never seen these flanges....are they always mounted?
Anyone here have a source where to buy the 12mm nuts

Re: Assembly exhaust
If I recall correctly, the flanges were available separately possibly as repair pieces. Because only 4 gaskets are needed, it leads me to believe they were not used as spacers. If so, you'd need additional gaskets on either side of the flanges.

Hi Mike
That make sense indeed...
I was also wondered when I saw the drawings
So only in the need for 2 nut to make the set complete

Re: Assembly exhaust
Bart, try a search on the internet, meanwhile here is a link to Amazon which does have a description of what to look for. You may want to try PRS in the UK for a supply.

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Re: Assembly exhaust
Bart, if you are referring to the #8 nuts, eight are required. I use brass nuts (some use copper) and schrnor washers. I would follow David's advice. I consider him one of our resident experts.

Re: Assembly exhaust
I think Sierra Madre has the 8mm x 12mm exhaust nuts. They are copper plated and have a flange, so they don't look quite like the originals, but the originals are nla unless you have some in your parts bin.

Re: Assembly exhaust
Also Japanese cars typically use that size for all their 8mm bolt heads, although frequently theirs have an integral washer, nice but not original style.

Re: Assembly exhaust
Ordered
Choice is cupper nuts with the 12mm
I know, not original but easier to loosen after X-years
