Ya you can get em at the hardware store but if mudfrogs got em that'd be cool too. Summit racing also would have em.

I am OK with buying from a supporting vendor, but the guesswork bugs me. I will see if I can confirm size.
Its been daily driven with one of two nuts for about 3 weeks now, including two 2 1/2 hour road trips.

I have a 2000 and the flange between the muffler and the back of the converter has came loose. The studs are still there and in good shape, the nuts just came off. Anybody know what size nuts they are, and if they are fine thread or course thread? Thanks!

Swing by the junkyard and get some off of an XJ. I know it'll be hard, but try to get ones that aren't too rusty. Don't forget the WD-40 or Kroil.

Or just drive to a local hardware store and ask them to help you. Most of the time they'll take a few out with you to match it up.
Then no guessing, you have new hardware that'll cost $2, and all is good.

Get copper, or is it bronze studs! Reason being is the stock steal ones get weaker over time because of the heat cycles!
The bronze or copper will actually get harder & stronger because of the heat cycles. I plan to do this when I finish rebuilding my motor.

And you want them to be different materials so they don't bond together vis corrosion.
There is a really good post about it in a thread of mine...
