exhaust mid pipe coupler clamps - bolt size?
Anyone know offhand what the exact size of the bolts are on the exhaust couplers that hold the midpipe to the over the axle pipes? I was readjusting my axlebacks and pipes earlier tonight and snapped a bolt ![Doh](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif)
Things should hold till I can get to a store tomorrow and get a replacement and was just curious if anyone had run into this issue before.
Thanks!

Yea, I got experience with this!! I broke one off too, its a t-bolt (no hex-head) and about a grade-5. I grabbed a regular bolt about the right size from one of my many parts bins, turned out to be a little too long. Still worked though. The original bolt is metric for sure, my suggestion is to get a regular style bolt in stainless and at least a grade 5 that fits the hole size.

last night I discover how tight the T bolts fit into the clamp and how you have to PRY them the &$Y&$%^@% out.......
then I install the new bolt, go to lock down the first clamp (passeneger side), tighten up the new bolt, then tighten the old stock bolt...... SNAP.....
the second one breaks.......

take the sleeve clamp off, pry out the OTHER stock one, then add the second new bolt and get it all buttoned up - no probs or leaks
went all the way and did the other ones on the driver side too

I've still gotta re-align mine (too cold out now) and replace all of the bolts with something stonger. I figure at least an hour's work, w/out any snafu's, that is!!
