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 |

spacer may have to be modified ( hack saw ) you will bend the brackets with out, 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
