Anyone know what size bolts for the heat shield?

Just got a polished one from Slowboy. Hopefully it will decrease the engine bay temps.

Also what should I torque them down to? (ft/lbs)


Thanks

SBR sends bolts with their heatshields. If they missed it on yours, just call them up they'll expedite you nice shiny SS ones :) Why spend more when you already paid for it!

Enjoy!

They do? I had a big tear in in the bottom of my box, hope they didn't fall out.
I'll give them a call.

Still anyone know what size?
 
12mm head with an 8 x 1.25 thread pitch. You can pick them up at any hardware store or Home Depot. For installation, snug them well, run the motor to heat the manifold and shield and then snug them again while they're hot. Just don't overdo it or you'll snap them off in the manifold.
 
Thank you very much. :)
