Howdy,

Last night I removed my heat exchangers as part of an SSI upgrade on my 70S motor (not a 70S car though) and pretty much all of the barrel nuts came out complete with the studs still rusted firmly in place So my question is do I simply reinstall these barrel nuts with the studs rusted on (essentially they are now barrel bolts) or should I try and source new studs from local dealer? Pros/Cons?

I'll post some pics of the project soon

Thanks,
