84 gl Exhaust Studs

[soob_newb]

I need the exhaust studs for the EA81's with the asv.  I know the thread size is M10-1.25 and I measured the length to about 65mm.  The problem is, I cannot find them anywhere.  Suggestions.

You could always get a stainless bolt in that size that has 65mm of thread.  Of course you would have to chase the threads with a bolt where you make the cut.

I install 10x1.25 timeserts into the ASV plate and then put shorter studs in.  The Legacy/Impreza studs of 48.5mm work if you have the inserts in the plate.

buy an M10 x 1.25 bolt and cut it to length?  chase the threads with a die or if it's clean enough and you have some small enough files you can work it that way.

 

auto parts stores have M10 x 1.25 exhaust studs, would they not work?

 

the auto parts stores i went to that have a large selection will have M10 x 1.25 exhaust studs, they unfortunately have a "band" in the middle, the threads aren't continuous..which has always seemed odd.  but anyway, it's not mid-way, one side has more threads than the other and it'll only fit "one way" into EA82, ER27, and EJ heads, but they work.

 

use those, or cut those to work as well?
