Subject:      Re[2]: Exhaust Repair Bummer

     I wanted to do this this weekend but neither Orchard Supply or Home 
     Depot have M8 x 1.25 metric nuts in stainless (or any metric 
     stainless). Does anyone know of a source near the Pasadena/Glendale CA 
     area. 

     
     Thanks,
     Jeff
