Loose exhaust nuts

[BUBBIE]

what are jamb nuts?

I posted it..

I always thought a jamb nut was what you guys are calling a jam nut.. My spelling is Jamb nut,,, a thin nut used to secure the first nut from coming loose and locking the first in place..

It is Jamb to me... works for me, either way it is spelled.

Boy, I don't know what it is with you Glider.... Must be something in your water...

Showing favoritism to a "lower case" nut like me may cause a stir with the other big wig NUTs here on HDT.

We best include them also with that fine title! so they don't feel left out.

If my exhaust ever loosens up again, Im going to try Brass high nuts with lock washers. We used them on v-8 chevy exhaust studs for years, they protected all of the threads and were user friendly if you had to remove the exhaust

You can also use chrome acorn nuts as the second "lock" nut and it will dress up that area as well.

The torque is key but getting a torque wrench on the front bolts is a real pain. The upper one is especially tough. I just make them good and tight. No issues so far. The backs are torqued perfectly.
