Default Exhaust hanger studs tip.

Swapped out my exhaust today and almost pushed the exhaust hanger studs through the holes. If you do push the studs up, getting them back in the holes is a royal PITA. So, I put some bolt holder washers on the studs. Here are few photos:

I don't know why GM didn't put these on from the factory. Hopefully, this post saves somebody a lot of time and frustration.

Good tip.

I had heard of the problem before I did my exhaust, so I was careful. The clip is a good idea.

Do you have the part # so people can get the right ones?

QCVette.......There is no specific part number for the part. I just went to my local Ace Hardware with the nut and bought the appropriate washers (I think they were something like .11 cents apiece.)
