Default header bolts from napa, anyone use them?

they seem to have various sizes I was planning on getting the 3/8"-16 x 1"

dont see the need for locking bolts of any kind since the stock exhaust manifolds stay on tight with regular bolts.

they also have these sizes:

3/8"-16 x 3/4"
5/16"-18 x 3/4"

thank you.

rather get something local, umm they were about 8 - 10 bucks on the website for some reason the price and stuff removed themselves.
are those the right sizes though?

No, the bolts are metric.

The bolts are metric. I bought some from my local hardware store, stockers had been in/out about 10 times. They have 12mm heads, a little wider, distributes the load better on the header flange.

yeah i am going to re use the stock 10mm bolts, they all came out fine and I marked them in order so they will go back in the same way, I just rather have 12 point heads to get a better grab on them also I didnt want to risk a used bolt breaking in the head.

I am going to the local hardware store to find 2 lock nuts because my prothane engine mounts came with two that just slid on the bolt for some reason and I will take a look at what they have bolt wise.

thx
