Had to remove a downpipe from the SD1 due to a slight blow where it joined the manifold - and of course a stud sheared. To be fair, it's been in place for perhaps 10 years, due to the stainless steel system. Had some spare new studs, and got the old one out easily enough, but what sort of nuts would be best to prevent this happening again? They're M8. Ebay has lots of brass nuts in M8 - but can't seem to find the double height exhaust ones. Would stainless steel nuts on their own be better than steel?
