I'll be needing a pair of threaded exhaust nuts for my 850, and I noticed Andy Molnar http://www.manx.co.uk/pdf/MPL-Norton-Triton.pdf markets some dural numbers.
Anyone have any experience with these or similar ones?
The guy who repaired the threads on my exhaust ports used to do them for the Lancashire Constabulary bikes, and he used to fit bronze nuts (made to his spec). He told me that once they were done up hand-tight they never worked loose - he was genuinely suprised when I told him of the tabwashers as shown in the parts book.
I can only assume that the expansion rates of the head and the nut were complimentary?
Incidentally, my Ducatis use a similar arrangement....with brass nuts.
What other options are there? I've got a head with new threads and I'm keen to keep them in good order.
