help.... arp head stud
 

alright, well i stripped the 12 points off of one of the nuts on my arp headstuds and now i dont know what the hell to do, can i just buy a regular nut to fit on there? or does it have to be some good strength ----? and does arp have an actual official site so i can call them? all ive ever seen is just distributors selling their ----

Call them up directly and buy it from there. They're really good guys.

Re: help.... arp head stud
 

not to thread jack, but is there a special socket for those?

Re: help.... arp head stud
 

just a 12 point socket

i c thanx

12 point is kinda special I guess, not to common is standard kits, I had to buy one anyways and I picked up another 12 point for my arps bolts

BTW- How the hell do you strip a 12 point nut? You trying to throw a 13mm on there or something? Ive seen people strip some hard ----, but head bolts are something you cant ---- around with

A regular high grade nut would do just fine though

Best thing to do is get one from ARP directly, but it's a bit pricey for just a nut.

If your hardware store has hardened nuts (I do) then that'll probably work fine. I was missing a couple washers from my kit and I just bought some hardened ones from the local True Value.

sometimes those sockets are hard to find. it is easy to find a 12 point shallow but a 12 point deep is hard to find.

Re: help.... arp head stud
 

deeper is infact better
