Cylinder Head Exhaust Stud and nuts

Oct 31, 2004 3 Replies

I an going to attempt to replace the stock muffler on my 73 Beetle and the cylinder head exhaust flange studs are pretty rusted. Does anyone know where I can buy these studs and nuts. I can't seem to find them in any of my catalogs. Thanks in advance Dan
