Hi All, Perhaps you can help me out, just got the head back on and trying to attach the exhaust but all the old studs are knackered, but having real trouble getting some new ones as the bike is over 30 years old and no one seems to have any in stock , I was wondering if studs off of some thing else might fit , they are M6 studs so fairly standard size but the length has to be the same or slightly longer.

Do any of you have an idea where the best place might be to get hold of some, I need 8 of couse plus the nuts. Thanks or any advice.

Try some 6mm threaded rods. Just cut them to size LINKY

Thanks DT, Just what I wanted, Your a star.

You sure about them bein 6mm MRR slice? I would have thought 8mm myself

As Airheads says. Check the size first. They do 8mm as well and in stainless so they are easier to get off again.

I got mine from Stainless Steve at Stafford.

you may find then 8mm coarse into the head and fine for the studs.

Your all correct of course, must have had a senior moment they are m8 and not m6 and I will try Stainless Steve right now, Thanks Drewp.
