SA thermal reactor bolts
I was reinstalling the thermal reactor on my 79, in bolting it in, I noticed the threads are different sizes. Ones shorter than the other and takes different size bolts.
The shorter threaded post has no bolt and nothing I’ve tried fits.
You guys run into this?

My bad.. not the reactor but the section the air line attaches to just past the reactor. That part has the 2 different studs on the output. The input bolts to the reactor.

The threaded post closest to camera is shorter and different size.. bolt on the other one is too big for it.
weird.
Just for the helluvit I tried the steering wheel bolt .. darned if it didn’t fit!
I’ll match that up at HD or elsewhere.

Happy Rotoring!

That looks like your heat exchanger to me, not the thermal reactor. Both studs should be the same not different. Is it stripped? Measuring the diameter with a mic or pair of calipers will give you the diameter and a thread pitch gauge will give you the pitch (threads per inch).

Slowly getting there...

It's definitely not the TR; I was guessing it was the tail end of the CAT. What's a heat exchanger? The picture kinda looks (to me) like the closer stud is an actual stud (with damaged or dirty threads) and the farther one looks like a bolt/rod JBwelded in place.
