HELP!!! My new T2 and I got a question
Ok I just got out from under my car and where my downpipe connects to the block, I have a problem!!
There are 3 studs going from the block through the flange on the downpipe and there "SHOULD" be 3 nuts holding the downpipe on.
But..............as you guessed it there is only 1!!!
I need to know what size the nut is so I can go and get more!!!
Thanks!!

Sorry for another post, but the reason I mention the converter, is that it is a real pain trying to get to the nuts if the converter hasn't been removed.. If it's just a downpipe no problems. The original nuts had locks attached. When I put my downpipe on I removed the locks from the original and put them on the new downpipe. When you install nuts use some kind of locks e.g. washers. The originals had tabs that were bent up around the nuts.

1.) try to find a bolt around the house that the nut fits on
2.) put nut back on car
3.) go to hardware store and find nut to fit bolt
That's what I did, but I bought a bunch so I can't remember what size that was. Sorry
