Wayne?

I have a question regarding the different fasteners on the heat exchangers.

The Carrera drawing shows two different fasteners. One is a nut (999-084-052-02) @ $3.75 ea. The other (accessible through a hole in the heat exchanger) is a barrel nut (999-085-001-02) @ $3.00 ea. Fine.

The Turbo drawing shows only six of the same nuts (999-084-625-02) @ $5.00 ea.

Why is this? This does not seem to be a superseded part number issue. My Turbo engine currently has the Carrera style fasteners. Are the Turbo fasteners recommended? If they were easier to remove and would not be prone to breaking exhaust studs, I guess that would be worth something.

I have some 8mm nuts in stainless steel that would work just fine, I think.

Thanks,
Mark
