B12 Exhaust bolts

[paddle]

Hi 

I have just had to re weld one of my exhaust stud holes as the previous owner absolutely butchered one of the holes trying to drill it out.I have re tapped the hole and would rather use studs instead of bolts.would there be any issues with studs apart from the ball ache of exhaust flange alignment.didnt know if anyone in the past had junked bolts for studs 

Thanks

Common enough mod and I find studs an nuts a damn sight easier to assemble compared to a cap head bolt int o a hole you can bearly see! SS studs and bradd or copper nuts is a safe solution IMO.

Excellent thanks I didn't know if there were any clearance issues with the frame and getting a socket or spanner on the nuts
