Hey. Can anyone shoot me a pic of their 5sfe stock headers because as I was flushing my coolant I noticed that to the far left. There was a nut missing and to the far right there was no nut or bolt but a hole? Or let me know if there are suppose to be bolts and nuts there and if so, where can I get them?
It's a 1997 Celica GT.

If you can't find a stud to go in there, you can go the opposite direction. for example if the stud has been fully removed and not broken off (if broken stud, which u can still remove by an extractor), you can get a matching bolt probably a 14mm bolt. Thats what I've done on other cars where the stud breaks, i just remove the stud and use a bolt instead.

Surprisingly. It is really really handy to have. I replace a lot of missing nuts and bolts. Lol. I actually found a bolt that fit into that missing stud but was just never sure if it was safe. -------------------- |
