ARP manufactures a variety of premium grade bolt and stud kits to
facilitate installation of exhaust headers including the popular
stainless stud kit with 12-point nuts. The Stainless 300 material is not
affected by corrosion or extreme heat, making it ideal for the
application. What’s more, the compact 12-point nut lets you easily slip a
socket close to the pipe. Each ARP accessory stud or bolt kit includes
the specific number of parts for your application, plus premium-quality
washers and hex or 12-point nuts, as required. Studs are manufactured
with a unique nut-starter nose that helps prevent cross-threading. Studs
and bolts come either black oxide chrome moly or Stainless 300. Both
are nominally rated at 170,000 psi tensile strength; substantially
stronger than Grade 8 hardware. Specially drilled “NASCAR” models are
available for those who wish to safety wire their header bolts to
prevent loosening.
Special “NASCAR” model header bolts are available that are drilled for
use of safety wire. Perfect for any racer who desires the ultimate in
security. Available for small block and big block Chevrolet engines,
plus many “universal” applications.
