Exhaust header bolt size

[mortation]

Does anyone know the size of the exhaust header bolts on an 83 850 GLD? I want to stop at the hardware store on my way home and grab some.

I think they were M8 1.25 x 30 but thats trying to remember from last summer :P

Would appreciate the info if anyone has it, thanks!

Looking at Alpa Sports fiche they appear to be M8 x 35 ..

Yup, that's right. Don't forget the lock washers and anti-seize.


WHY do I know this? WHYYYYY?

I have to think for a minute to remember what color my wife's eyes are, and I have not the faintest idea what I had for lunch yesterday.

But once I measure a bolt, it's locked in.

Brains are weird.

So in the bolt part numbers, does the second set of five digits, i.e. 08358, contain the size? I never knew that! Can you explain a bit more please? Thanks
