Just wanted to inform you about the anti-seize because I think your reasoning is mistaken. Anti-seize is actual conductive so it will facilitate a galvanic reaction between the dissimilar metals, however, it is always necessary to use with stainless fasteners because SS is softer than other metals. The friction generated without anti-seize will cause this soft metal to gall and seize. So keep using stainless, and keep using anti-seize! I agree that stainless steel fasteners are a good choice.

I just found a new supplier for bulk bolts, and I am willing to ship bolts to anyone who can't find their own supplier. Send me an email, my address is at the bottom of every page.

Do you know the size of the exhaust bolt threads? Thanks, Brandon Where did you find the stainless hardware? Do you know the size of the exhaust bolt threads?

Thanks,
