Title: exhaust bracket which nut?
Post by: ///m42 sport on October 29, 2009, 01:49:55 PM

I'm replacing the center bracket, but don't know which nut holds the bracket together since they did not come labeled with the part numbers.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

M8 Part #07129946400

The copper ones are for the studs that join the headers to cat. Not sure if this was any help.

Looks ok. If the exhaust is off a little you will see it in the bracket, but looks ok to me.
