Ok all, Quick question... I searched the KV but can't find this tidd bit of info. What is the bolt size for the front muffler hanger? I kind of didn't tighten it after i got done replacing my front isolator, and changing the tranny fluid. So can anyone help a brotha out? it is the bolt that goes in the front "Y" hanger on the front of the muffler just after the 90 degree turn... DANKA

5/16-18 x 4" under the head to tip,
Or 3/8 - 16 x 4"

BUY GRADE 8,
you can get nylok nuts use them AND locktite, spacer about 7/8"
try the local home improvment box for these
auto parts prolly won't have 'em

the Lowes store here has 'em in the "drawers"

spacer may have to be modified ( hack saw )

yes lowes will have grade 8, you must confirm that the purchase IS grade 8 DYI stuff is not grd 5 or better

the grade 8 has 6 lines on the head pointing to the corners, and or a 8 stamped in the head
