I decided that after converting the XJ to a cafe I wanted to lose the 4 into 1 and go back to the original pipes. Love the look and sound of them, and I was surprised at how good they were after storing them and forgetting about them for a few years. Well, sure enough as I was re-installing them in my garage, one of the header bolts disappeared. I kind of see this as a bonus since the PO somehow managed to mix the size of the header nuts so they are various throughout the exhaust. Is there a good source for these so I can replace them with one size, and if not, is there a source where I can just get that single one I am missing?

I used coupling nuts, about an inch long or so. Have to grind/file a little of the point on the hex so it will go down in the recess of the flange. You can use a socket or wrench on them. Get em from a bolt supply.79 F full cruiser, stainless brake lines, spade fuses, Accel coils, modded air box w/larger velocity stacks, 750 FD.
