Wrench for header bolts

[MYBAD79]

With huge primaries there's not much room for a wrench. I ground the ring down using a angle grinder:



Now it fits:smash::

Yep, I have a few of those "special" tools. :quote:

Use 12pt flange heads. No clearance problems and no special tools.

I am using 12pt heads (Breslin lock bolts).

Are SB header flange bolts 5/16 or 3/8? An ASME flange head, 12pt, 5/16 will use a 5/16 wrench and the flange is usually about the size of the wrench, same with a 3/8. They are great using in recesed bolt holes.

I suppose youve never seen these

Uhhhh......

I must have missed the post where someone asked for alternative fasteners. Could have sworn it was about differences in the 12pt Breslin lock bolts and regular 12pt.

For future reference though, I suspect most people are aware of the existence of allen head screws.

I have a friend whose wife thought it cute that her husband named his tools...Allen wrench and Phillip(s) screwdriver.

crows feet work good too

I usually use ARP header studs with the 12 point nut. Just seems to work better than a bolt.
