Stage 8 Locking Header Bolt Kit

The Stage 8 Locking Header Bolt Kit line gives you a secure way to mount exhaust headers and collectors. The bolts won't loosen from engine vibration and heat cycling. Each kit is a complete header bolt set with the locking hardware that goes with it. It suits street, racing and other performance builds.

Key Features:

• Patented locking system: a grooved hex-head bolt, a retainer and a snap clip work together. The retainer fits over the bolt head and locks it against the header tube. The snap clip holds the retainer in place.
• Grade 8 bolts: these are made to resist stretching when hot.
• Nickel finish: a plated finish for corrosion resistance and a clean look.
• Double hex or 12-point heads: the double hex head has a recessed Allen socket, which makes installation easier. Kits are offered with 6-point double hex or 12-point heads.
• Removable and reusable: you can service the headers repeatedly without replacing the hardware.
• Easy inspection: you can check the bolts by eye and don't need a wrench to confirm they are tight.

Once tightened, the bolts stay put. That helps prevent exhaust leaks and blown header gaskets caused by loose bolts. Stage 8 has made fail-safe locking fasteners for critical automotive applications for many years.
