The exhaust pipe nut flew off, and I gave it my best shot, but…
The stud bolt threads seem to be messed up.
I’ve been thinking since last night about how to weld a nut onto such a recessed stud and then remove it this morning.
I took a close look to check the current condition, and…
Hmm? The pitch looks fine… it doesn’t seem to be 1.25.
After checking, it turned out to be M7-P1.0 after all.
That’s so typical… the SP2 is pretty esoteric.
Since we can’t take it in today, this is a temporary fix for now.
I made a replacement part by installing an M7-P1.0 helicoil into a 7075 aluminum square bar with a 14 mm flat width to handle it (‘ω’)ノ
Due to the exhaust pipe layout, we can’t tighten it normally, so I’ve adjusted the nut height.
I’ll arrange for the parts.
