Exhaust flange nut "spring tab" washers

#1 Post by Bengt Weil » Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:25 pm

Does anyone have a source for the "spring tab" washers that can go under the exhaust flange nuts, to attached the exhaust springs to (preferably in stainless)?

They would look something like this:

Thanks!

Thanks for the NK Racing leads - they do look nice. I will pursue unless someone comes up with a local supplier here in the States. The ordering process through NK Racing doesn't appear to be very efficient or succinct...

Thanks again to Vin & Silverstrom for the input - always appreciated!

It looks like something that you could make yourself without much difficulty. The simplest solution would be to use a washer with an outside diameter larger than stock and bend up one side and drill it for the spring. Easy enough to trim the washer down on the exhaust side if the diameter is too large there. No need for anything fancy. Simple tends to work best.
