Hey guys I need help to get myself 4X longer turbo studs M10X1.25X55mm long at least ( Precision 5558 turbo going onto stock mani with 12mm spacer plate), exhausted goin to autobarn, repco, supercrap auto and even bunnings in parramatta/auburn area in western Sydney, longest they have is 40mm even that in M8 size. Most of them have studs with the hex bolt head welded too. But I just need studs, cant be fked cutting head off etc. Where/what is the closest nut/bolt place in my area, google aint helping and I have uptil Sat wen I will be bolting my shit together, theres always these little bits that I realize I aint got...aaargh! Any suggestions/ exhaust places or what?? Pretty annoyed that supercrap /repco/ autobarn dont stock these. Not interested in GCG Inconel shit for 80bux and its not even long enough.. Ebay got stuff but its not local

The problem with using cheap studs not suitable for exhaust parts, it will bite you in the ass in the long run when they seize/weld up if you ever decide the turbo and exhaust parts off again. It's why the GCG Inconel studs are so expensive

Na, bolts will have to be the exact length to bolt in and hold tight, else use dodgy washers to fill up space.

Jez the guys fitting the turbo are Ron, Jase and Mick O (fab work), these guys dont have studs lol..

Jase, na not getting studs from Melbourne(Stao)

as he himself uses Supercheap Auto stainless studs which I cannot get. AU Falcon ones may do if I can find a wrecker close by.

Scotty, looked up Stainless Allthread -they have M10X50 threads (not studs, but still) maybe get those if all else fails.

Baah didnt think how hard it would be to find a piece of threaded metal..

The stock manifold has M12x1.5 thread. just buy 60mm long studs from Supercheap, cut the hex head off and there is the stud. They comes with Nuts too.

Oh is it really 1.5 thread, I just ordered 1.25 thread man, now I need to get new nuts.. Past threads I have been reading suggest 1.25?? And M10 not M12?? Confused here :S
